Working at the Habibi Centre has taught me that school provides students with a place to make friends, be safe and learn the importance of structure, discipline and respect as well as just being an institute for academic achievement. The positive impact of the school was regularly explained to me by my students, who felt grateful for such a welcoming space and continued to attend despite the endless spelling tests and worksheets I gave to them. I really didn\u2019t expect to become as attached to my students as I did and as cheesy as it sounds, I really will remember them forever and am so grateful for how welcoming and kind they were to me. So I just want to say a massive thank you to all of the students and other teachers for making my experience so life changing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EMILY (THE U.K.) Volunteered From SEPTEMBER 2021 TO NOVEMBER 2021 I came to the Habibi Centre so that I could gain some teaching experience after graduating.
