Hello, I'm Mohamed Shahrour. Since arriving in Belgium in 2016, my journey has been one of relentless pursuit of knowledge and personal growth. I quickly learned the language and excelled in my studies, particularly in Mathematics and Science, which paved my way to a challenging yet rewarding path in polytechnic education. Despite initial setbacks in entrance exams, I redoubled my efforts and was admitted after just one month of intensive preparation alone in my room. I completed a rigorous three-year Bachelor's program, where I specialized in applied mathematics and construction. The COVID-19 pandemic presented communication challenges, but I persevered and went on to excel in my Master's program, focusing on construction and writing a thesis on geotechnical engineering related to offshore piles. My academic journey culminated in graduating with high honors, a testament to my dedication and hard work over five years. Beside academics, I gained practical experience through a two-month internship with Besix in Morocco in the biggest tower Mohammed VI and earned a certificate in business management in Belgium, with a focus on strategic enterprise and digital marketing. During my studies, I returned to Syria, my country of origin, to reconnect with my family where I met the love of my life in 2023. In 2024, during my final year of studies, we married. However, I returned to Belgium alone as my wife needed to complete her paperwork. My academic and professional achievements led to a prestigious offer to pursue a PhD in offshore engineering, funded by the European Commission. This opportunity involves splitting my time between Belgium and France, leveraging my status as an EU resident to facilitate and expedite family reunification processes. Currently, I am engaged in a three-year doctoral project, which is not only a professional commitment but also a step towards bringing my wife to France. As we navigate the complexities of immigration and reunification, I am eager to start this new chapter of our lives together.
