Cependant, pour les personnes qui ont v\u00e9cu une guerre, ce mot n\u2019existe pas, tout simplement. Avoir v\u00e9cu un conflit a des cons\u00e9quences durables, qui sont une limite r\u00e9elle \u00e0 l\u2018existence : non seulement en termes de perspectives de vie et de carri\u00e8re, mais surtout pour ce qui concerne la confiance en soi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pendant mes \u00e9tudes universitaires, autour de moi il y avait la guerre. Quand j\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 dipl\u00f4m\u00e9e en architecture, en 2017, je me suis retrouv\u00e9e confront\u00e9e \u00e0 un monde sans avenir. Oui, en Syrie, pendant la guerre, personne ne pouvait se permettre le luxe de songer \u00e0 un avenir. Chacun \u00e9tait habitu\u00e9 \u00e0 vivre au jour le jour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">J\u2019essayais de m\u2019ouvrir un maximum de possibilit\u00e9s et de me tenir occup\u00e9e : par exemple, je rejoignais des associations et des organisations b\u00e9n\u00e9voles. Toutefois, je savais que je voulais continuer \u00e0 \u00e9tudier et \u00e0 apprendre ; pour cette raison je postulais \u00e0 des cursus universitaires dans le monde entier, mais sans succ\u00e8s. Malgr\u00e9 mes efforts, je me retrouvais toujours \u00e0 \u00eatre financi\u00e8rement limit\u00e9e et ma famille ne pouvait pas se permettre de me soutenir. Beaucoup de familles syriennes sont dans une situation de pr\u00e9carit\u00e9 et de pauvret\u00e9 absolues \u00e0 cause de la guerre. En effet, les conflits n\u2019ont pas seulement tu\u00e9 \u00e9norm\u00e9ment d\u2019innocents, ils pr\u00e9sentent aussi un bilan \u00e9conomique d\u00e9sastreux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aller en Italie n\u2019\u00e9tait pas quelque chose que j\u2019envisageais, en particulier \u00e0 cause de mon impossibilit\u00e9 \u00e0 me d\u00e9placer. J\u2019ai eu la chance de rentrer en contact avec l\u2019Association \u00ab Chemins de solidarit\u00e9 avec les Chr\u00e9tiens d\u2019Orient \u00bb. Une des personnes que j\u2019ai rencontr\u00e9es m\u2019a expliqu\u00e9 alors que l\u2019objectif de l\u2019Association \u00e9tait d\u2019aider les jeunes g\u00e9n\u00e9rations \u00e0 continuer leurs \u00e9tudes. On m\u2019a alors aid\u00e9e \u00e0 pr\u00e9senter ma candidature pour acc\u00e9der \u00e0 cette opportunit\u00e9, ce fut un processus tr\u00e8s enthousiasmant pour moi. Maintenant j\u2019ai la chance d\u2019\u00eatre ici, je vis \u00e0 Milan depuis un an. J\u2019ai termin\u00e9 la premi\u00e8re ann\u00e9e d\u2019\u00e9tudes de mon Master en Architecture \u00e0 l\u2019\u00c9cole Polytechnique de Milan et je continue d\u2019\u00e9tudier avec l\u2019objectif de finir mon cursus universitaire l\u2019an prochain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enfin, je souhaite remercier profond\u00e9ment tous ceux qui m\u2019ont permis de r\u00e9aliser cette exp\u00e9rience d\u2019\u00e9tudes et de renaissance. C\u2019est-\u00e0-dire en particulier tous ceux qui ont contribu\u00e9 avec beaucoup de g\u00e9n\u00e9rosit\u00e9 par des dons \u00e0 l\u2019Association ainsi que toute la communaut\u00e9 italienne qui nous a accueillis, nous \u00e9tudiants syriens. C\u2019est gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 eux si aujourd\u2019hui, apr\u00e8s avoir v\u00e9cu pendant dix ans sans espoir, je peux porter un regard confiant sur mon avenir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mariana<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap wp-block-paragraph\">Future is a word that scares people. However, in the definition of people who lived in war, it does not exist. All cascading effect of the war after years until now is something that limit a person. The limitation in a career also confronts the limit of dreaming and believing in yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2017, when I finished my bachelor\u2019s degree in architecture which started and ended in war. I found myself confronted with the word future, which was not existing during the destructive conflict in Syria as everyone used to live day by day waiting to survive. However, I tried to get into some volunteering association to refine my soul and be ready for all possibilities. However, deep inside myself, I wanted to continue my educational attainment, which needed preparation. I tried applying to several universities around the world. Here, I need to point out one of the major problems that even if you had faith and power to chase your dream, the financial situation limits you. Syrian families during the war suffered from a lot of things, starting from losing jobs to the worst which is losing a member of the family. Therefore, most of the citizens have low income or even no income at all that lives with the help of donation. In this situation, anyone can feel this overwhelming restriction. Coming to Italy was not planned at all, with the help of one of my relatives that immigrated to Switzerland \u00ab\u00a0as the situation of 30% of Syrian\u00a0\u00bb, I was introduced to the association of \u00ab\u00a0le Chemin de Solidarit\u00e9 avec les critiens d&rsquo;Orient\u00a0\u00bb. One of the respondents explained the association&rsquo;s aim in helping the youth generation in proceeding with their studies, I was put in contact with the people that are friends of the association that helped me in applying process. It was a long enthusiastic process. That in the end, I can say here I am, living in Milano one year ago. I finished one successful year in the master\u2019s degree program in Architecture at Politecnico di Milano. Now, I am continuing my studies, hoping to finish my degree next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can conclude by saying this experience would not have been complete without the donation that people did to support it, besides the Italian community that shared their places with the Syrian student as part of the process. Making the word future clear for me after losing it during the past 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mariana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(English text below) Le mot \u201cavenir\u201d est souvent source d\u2019effroi.
