Module 4-Unit 4-CaseStudy 2

I am Fatima from Somalia. I arrived in Italy through Libya when I was 15 years old with the dream to become a doctor. I have been studying a lot Italian in order to enroll to an high school and be able to move to the university in the future. My family lives in a quite area distant from the armed conflict originated by the draught, and they support my life project. I have been living in a reception centre for unaccompanied minors where I found a lot of friends and very helpful social workers. But, today it’s my 18° birthday. I become an adult. I have been told that I have to move out to a centre for adult asylum seekers.
