Embarking on the SPARK program has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. It’s more than just a program to me—it’s a platform that has ignited my passion for innovation, challenged me to push beyond my limits, and provided me with the tools to turn my dreams into reality. Over the past six weeks, I’ve not only developed my entrepreneurial skills but also discovered a lot about myself and my potential to make an impact.
When I first joined SPARK, I was filled with both excitement and uncertainty. My idea started as a vision inspired by a real problem I had witnessed, and through this program, it has evolved into something tangible—something that is now being recognized as an invention. I am proud to share that my invention is currently being developed and studied at King Abdullah University, where it’s on the path to receiving an invention degree. This milestone is a testament to the power of belief, hard work, and the incredible support I received through SPARK.
How SPARK Helped Me Evolve
Over these six weeks, SPARK has been a whirlwind of learning, growth, and collaboration. The workshops and mentorship sessions introduced me to key concepts of entrepreneurship, from building a solid business model to understanding market needs. I’ve learned how to refine my pitch, analyze competitors, and, most importantly, tell the story of my invention in a way that resonates with others.
One of the most incredible aspects of SPARK has been the support from my coaches, Steve Harvey and Hala. Every single question I asked was answered immediately, with such clarity that it made the entire process seamless and empowering. Their guidance, patience, and dedication were instrumental in transforming my idea into a functioning invention. I am truly grateful for their unwavering support—they didn’t just teach me how to build a solution
they believed in my vision and guided me toward making it a reality.
SPARK as a Life-Changing Experience
SPARK isn’t just about learning—it’s about experiencing a shift in mindset. I’ve learned to embrace the unexpected, adapt to change, and see opportunities where others see obstacles. The community I’ve become a part of is inspiring. Being surrounded by like-minded individuals who are equally passionate about their ideas has been incredibly motivating. Despite being one of the youngest participants, I’ve felt a strong sense of belonging and an edge of excitement knowing I’m ahead in my journey.
The program also taught me resilience. Balancing university, personal life, and SPARK hasn’t been easy, but it’s been worth every effort. There were moments when I felt overwhelmed, but I reminded myself of why I started. My invention is not just a project
it’s a mission to make a difference, and SPARK has helped me realize how impactful it can truly be.
Looking Ahead
As I near the end of this journey, I feel more confident and prepared than ever. SPARK has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to take my invention to the next level. From understanding my target market to developing a clear revenue model, I’ve built a solid foundation for its success. I now see my invention as a solution that addresses a critical gap, and I’m ready to bring it to life.
SPARK has not only shaped my invention but also my aspirations. It has reinforced my dream of being a young entrepreneur who makes a difference. I envision my invention becoming a recognized name in its field, starting in Saudi Arabia and expanding globally. This program has shown me that with dedication, passion, and the right support, no goal is too ambitious.
Final Thoughts
The past six weeks have been a journey of growth, learning, and inspiration. SPARK has been more than just a program—it has been a stepping stone to realizing my potential and making a difference. I am deeply grateful for this opportunity, for the exceptional guidance of my coaches, and for the chance to work on something that I truly believe will change lives. This is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to continue this path of innovation and impact.
