I was a recipient of the Kennedy Lugar Youth Exchange and Study Scholarship sponsored by the Department of State, with the overarching goal of advancing peace and intercultural understanding. During this period, I served as an exchange student and cultural ambassador representing Pakistan in the United States. This transformative year offered me a plethora of personal growth opportunities while actively working to promote peace and cultural understanding between my home country, Pakistan, and my host country, the United States.In addition, I had the privilege of being chosen as the student speaker for AYUSA, the organization overseeing my exchange experience, at their annual conference. I delivered presentations aimed at dispelling misconceptions about Pakistan and sharing its rich culture. Furthermore, I dedicated my time to numerous volunteer projects within my host community.
