Afghanistan refugee maintains hope despite turbulent 12 months
Courage is a characteristic that speaks through actions. Sakina, a 2021 graduate of St. Cloud State University, has displayed it throughout her entire life. It took courage to attend university in her home country of Afghanistan, a path often not supported for women. Courage to move thousands of miles away to earn a master’s degree at SCSU and return home to use her new skills to better her country. And it also took courage to flee when her safety was no longer guaranteed.
