Houda Haboub

Hello, my name is Houda Haboub and I am from Casablanca, Morocco. I have been in the United States for six years. I have one twin brother; we moved to here together but he moved back home four years ago, so it does feel lonely sometimes since all my family lives in Casablanca. About two and a half years ago I met my husband; he works for turner sports and he is addicted to sports and it drives me crazy!

I am an International Affairs and language major; I have always wanted to work in a field where I could have a lot of interaction with people. I would love to work for the UN or in a field that allows me to help immigrants, since I know how hard it is for people for from other countries and cultures to adapt in a foreign country.

I chose Kennesaw because I prefer smaller classes and also because it is cheaper than other universities.

I went to High school in Casablanca. Unlike the United States, in Morocco, students don’t really have a lot of activities in school but people do participate in activities outside of school. I attended a school that gave certifications in English because in high school I only had one hour of English a week, which wasn’t enough to help me speak English fluently. I also went to the beach frequently because I lived ten minutes away.

Five years from now, I see myself hopefully with masters in International Affairs and Spanish and being in the process of working towards a PHD.  In five years, I would love to have a son or daughter or maybe twins.
