I am Hayfa Rahali, a fresh graduate of Tunis Business School.

When I first got accepted to TBS I was shocked and thrilled at the same time. To be honest I was not satisfied with my results in the baccalaureate exam. Furthermore, I was shocked by my rank among accepted students. I was at the bottom of the list, not the last, but I had quite a low ranking. At first, I felt that I wouldn’t be able to catch up with my colleagues and that I am in the wrong place. I remember watching “The Pursuit of Happiness” for the first time.

The movie was very inspiring. In a way, It made me realize that I am just like the protagonist. I still pursue deadlines, secretly want to do something more, and want to move to a better place in life. That movie inspired me to study hard, do extra work, and push myself harder. Furthermore, I did not make the error of only studying through my college years. I also worked on developing myself through extracurricular activities by joining some clubs that seemed interesting and even taking leadership positions in those that really inspired me. Recently, I checked my rank and found out that I am ranked 8th in my whole class and 2nd in my department ”Business Analytics”.This was a great boost to my self-confidence.
It made me realize that it is possible to attain whatever goal in your life if you genuinely work hard on it because you’re not only the
the protagonist of your story but also the writer.

In short, I want to say that no matter where you are in life or what you think of yourself. Never give up, take every opportunity that comes to you, and genuinely work hard.

I am currently working at DHL Supply Chain at the Regional Office for EMEA in Bonn, Germany. I work as Operations Performance Coordinator
