Turki's Life

by: Turki Alharbi

I would like to introduce myself for everybody, my name is Turki and I am from Saudi Arabia. In general, my counrty has a desert enviornment and weather, so there are alot of sands, the weather is hot most of the year especially if we are talking about the western region, that place that I belong to.

Anyways, I grow up in a city called "Jeddah", it is a coastal city and has humid and hot wheather as I mentioned above, it comes after the capital city "Ryiadh" in population and area. However, I completed my education there, my academic major was the Mechanical Engineering and in specific words it is called " Mechanical Thermal Engineering and Desalination Technology".

Afterthat, I could join to the Royal Commission at Yanbu Industrial City, and started my work experience there. Actually, I liked my major at the studying time, but when I joined to the working field and realized the options and the chances for my certificate, I felt as not really satisfied and excited while I am working. So, I tried to find a way to satisfy my ambition, and actually I could do it. One day my manager asked if any one would like to change his position from being purely Technical Job into a position which is more related to the Project Management and actually it was newly opened at that time. Nevertheless, a quick decision I made and I asked him to transfer me to the new department.

Nowadays, I am planning to study my master degree in either Project Management or Engineering Management, and try to have as much as I can of certificates that may support and enhance me in the new engineering field. After that, going back home hopefully with all of my certificates and the exciting to have a really big position.

For the time being, all my life has changed due to the travel to the States. Actually, till the moment I am working on arranging my life here and try to make it settled. In fact, I have alot of things to do in these days; studying, helping my wife in her study, watch my little baby and play with him and arrange my life here more and more.

At the end, I hope these few lines can give an idea for the reader and summerized my life story for him.

Thanks and Regards
