                 In the later years, the Moroccan government decided  to take out the public jobs ,  so they started to encourage the professional institutes to prepare the agents to work in the private companies . I was 25 years old when I got the bachelor diploma in the history and civilization  .



               Like a thousands of people who had bachelors , but they couldn't get a job.  Most of them live with their families who feed them , or they sell  cigarette , food or any street jobs. But others chose to establish the protest movements for getting a public job ,even if  they have to sacrifice their life.


              For me I chose to get a new diploma that will qualify me to work in the clothing companies .   

 

                  In 2009 I got my diploma. Then I worked in a big company as a agent of production. That was a good experience for me, but I couldn't continue when I felt my director was rude with me , so I quit my job in a bad mood , then I went to apply for the green card lottery.

 

 


 

           Because of the economic world crisis. Back in the days you couldn't get a job easily . Especially in my career . However, after two months of suffering, moving among the big economic cities,  I got a job as quality agent in the historic city called Fes .

 

 

 

            Then  I went to another company which I thought was much better for me, but it wasn't . It was a bad experience when I was deceived by my  supervisor .

 

 

           I applied for production manager, and I went to the interview which was about production and quality . It was very long. 

          

           Before we finished, they told me the payment would be 3000 DH, plus 1500 bonny after the first 6 months. Also I would have weekends off.

          Those condition for a new agent were very good starters. I started working as a control agent on the machine called VISITOSE .

 

 

 

             For me that time. It didn't matter quality or production if the payment is the same because I was dead broke.

                 I lived  in a bad area that had been very dangerous which I  get assaulted by the thieves at any time. Farther than my family, in a  small room, with a lot of roommates. There was no TV or computer, neither were there any friends , so it was really boring .

 


 



 


          The big problem was, when I took my payment I was shocked because it was a minimum wage payment . It was less than the payment I used to get at my previous job. I went to my supervisor who said don't worry I will fix it .

           In the Second payment I had the same, but the answer was very different . She said I couldn't do anything for you because if I raise your payment I have to do the same with your other Coworkers who been there longer than you have .

          Her answer made me really upset . I confronted her about it , but she wouldn't raise my wage.      

           There were two new agents  that started work with me at the same time I started working, and they were getting paid more than me , that was not fair for me.

          As well as my other problem when the company changed my schedule . I had to work one week morning shift, and evening shift in the other week. Only Sundays off.

 

             In those tough days,  I got an exciting call from my family saying that I got a letter in the mail from THE UNITED STATES. That news gave me hope. It was like gods gift. I took the train that night, I made sure that it was the actual green card .



          The letter said I was chosen by the lottery program , but I had to finish the condition. I did every thing so far then I waited and started dreaming.

 

 

 

 

 

           

 

             That time when I was waiting the answer for getting the visa, my country was in the edge, like all the Arabic countries, because of the corruption , bribery, Injustice , tyranny, Poverty and deprivation .The people there were desperate .There weren't any dignity or freedom with old dictator regimes . Those were the reasons for the Arab revolution known as THE ARABIC SPRING.
