From Egypt to Barcelona: Omar’s Journey Through the Foundation Year
Omar Isaiah, 18, Egypt — Foundation Program & BA in Digital Marketing
“Leaving my country to live on my own, away from my family and friends, was something I never thought I’d actually do. I was excited to start this new chapter, but I was nervous too.
The Foundation Year at GBSB Global made all the difference. It helped me adapt, meet new people, and get ready for my first year of the Bachelor’s program. Before coming here, I didn’t think I’d be able to balance everything I love doing with my studies — but I’ve learned that I can. Getting to know people with different mindsets, and learning from them, has been one of the best parts of this experience.
My advice? Keep doing what you love. Keep meeting new people. Have fun and enjoy the journey until the end. I know that reaching your goals can feel hard at the beginning — but trust me, you’ll get there.”
