Pen & Dreams from My Students

This book is a collection of works by three students from the English Department of the University of Djibouti. Education is about a long journey to knowledge and self-discovery, a path filled with external and inner hurdles. Through these poems and essays, you will discover the potential of young people striving to improve despite the scarcity of resources. These three young students are true achievers; they are proof that anything is possible for anyone willing to identify his/her weaknesses before undertaking the long journey to education fulfillment. They are not only the symbols of dedication, commitment, humility, and pride but also the symbols of moral values through the respect towards their various professors. “Recognizing your weaknesses is a bold step towards knowledge and self-confidence because knowledge comes with humility.” Prof. Marie-Ange Somdah
