Monthly scholarship meetings have always offered students the opportunity to learn new and inspiring things, so at the monthly online meeting held on October 25, scholarship students listened to a very useful and motivating lecture by Emina Hodžić. As usual, this was preceded by an introductory speech held by Seid Fijuljanin, the director of Hastor Foundation. He began the October meeting greeting all scholarship holders who have successfully completed the previous academic year. The Director announced to the scholarship holders that the Hastor Foundation has started signing scholarship contracts for a large number of elementary and high school students from various parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina who are part of our big family. In the process of signing the scholarship contract, the Hastor Foundation has the help of many scholarship holders, and the director expressed special gratitude to all students who’ve helped in this process.
The impressive number of 2207 scholarship holders in as many as 135 municipalities across Bosnia and Herzegovina will soon be higher, and at this month’s meeting, the director of the Hastor Foundation announced a competition for new scholarship holders in the academic 2021/2022 year who are motivated to contribute to the work of the Hastor Foundation and the entire Bosnian society through volunteering, which is one of the main characteristics of the Foundation itself. At the end of the introductory speech, Director Seid wished good luck and success in the new academic year to all scholarship holders and left the meeting to an inspiring girl who has achieved extreme success in all fields, and that is Emina Hodžić.
Emina Hodžić is a successful young girl from Sarajevo who, thanks to her hard work, has been recognized in many world companies and eventually found a dream job. Through a motivating lecture, Emina managed to show the scholarship holders how difficult each beginning is, but with our own efforts and commitment, we can achieve extraordinary results that will open many doors in our future professional life. Through a discussion with the schlarship holders, Emina advised them not to be afraid to step out of their comfort zone, which can greatly limit and restrain them, but to be brave and overcome their inner fears and dilemmas. Although it is not easy, Emina showed that with persistence and hard work we can all be the best version of ourselves, a version that will inspire and motivate others.
The October monthly meeting of scholarship holders passed in an inspiring spirit that will surely motivate many scholarship holders to work even harder on themselves and make the Hastor Foundation proud, which has always been a support and wind in the sails of its scholarship holders. We are looking forward to new scholarship holders who will undoubtedly make our family richer and bigger.
