How were you injured?

How did you get involved in your career and for how long have you been in the position?
“What I went through because of the bad conditions in my country and continued studying until I graduated from the Faculty of Architecture four months ago and during my studies and treatment I was working in interior design and architectural design on the internet.”

What kind of job accommodations do you require to be able to do your job?
“The accommodations I need are only in transportation, which is almost non-existent in my country due to the high prices of fuel and the lack of a private car.”

Is there anything else you’d like to add about your job and disability employment in general that we did not ask?
“I feel that I have made a wonderful achievement for an injured person who is pursuing treatment in a lifeless country. And I hope to be able to travel abroad soon so that I can complete the treatment and do the necessary operations so that I can walk again and work as a distinguished and brilliant architect in the Engineering and construction field.”
