Motivations and Goals

Pursuing graduate studies was an aim in itself, regardless of the specific program of study. I have always been interested in acquiring knowledge in all fields, and that is why my major interest is reading. After taking a few MBA courses, I found that although the subject was very interesting, it did not satisfy my thirst for information. It took me a while to realize that inorder to know more i.e. be more educated, why not take a degree related to education. It then struck me that this is exactly what I wanted to do with my life: gain knowledge and transfer it to people.

That is why I started doing my MA in Digital Technologies, Communications, and Education. I haven't worked in the educational sector before, but my hopes are up high that with this degree and my background in computer and technology, I will be able to start a career that is very challenging and satisfying.

I still did not find my specific point of focus in this field, but the course is so far very enjoyable to me. I think I will specialize in something related to educational technology research (still not sure what that means though!)

    Sorry am coming back to you late after your comment on my blog - I had some internet problems. It is nice to meet you again!

    Your personal motivation in MA-DTCE is inspiring, and yes it will be worth contributing something to your country.

    From our interraction last semester, I saw that you a great resource, it will be good if others (Egypt) benefit from your enormous knowledge and skills.
