Now, thanks to the online MBA program, she has that opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>Haroun lived in Kuwait until the Iraqi invasion by Saddam Hussein in 1990. With the help of the U.S. State Department, she and her family fled the country for the safety of daughter, Sarah, who was later born in Martin, Tennessee, and was an American citizen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the time, we thought it would only take a few months till Kuwait would be liberated with the help of the U.S. However, the situation was far more complicated than we anticipated and we were unable to return,\u201d explains Haroun. \u201cComing to the U.S. as a refugee was far from a pleasant event; it was extremely difficult seeing as we were completely unaware of what the future would hold.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Haroun decided to enroll at UTC to pursue her bachelor\u2019s degree in business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI worried that my subpar English skills would be a hindrance to my goals. Thanks to the continuous help and support that I received from my professors, fellow students, and the government, I was able to not only earn my Bachelors of Science, but also make the Dean\u2019s List several times,\u201d says Haroun.<\/p>\n<p>While working and raising two daughters, Haroun decided to go back to UTC to pursue her MBA. During this time, Haroun left work at 5 p.m., began her night class at 5:30 p.m. and at 9 p.m., she arrived home.<\/p>\n<p>However, after completing only three classes, Haroun\u2019s husband unexpectedly died at age 39. She had to delay her plans so that she could care for her children, earn a living, and maintain the family business.<\/p>\n<p>She enrolled at UTC once more in 2004, but in the summer of 2005 she decided to relocate for a career opportunity to help our troops in Kuwait. Haroun contacted UTC throughout the years, still hoping to be able to complete her MBA online.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven after relocating and successfully supporting my two daughters in college, my dream of completing my MBA never left me,\u201d says Haroun.<\/p>\n<p>Then, when Haroun went on UTC\u2019s website to check her daughter Sallee\u2019s schedule, she saw that UTC offers an online MBA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost MBA students are working during the day, so being able to do this degree online is very valuable. It\u2019s a great opportunity for people that want to better themselves and continue their education,\u201d says Haroun.<\/p>\n<p>Haroun applied and has since been accepted into the program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was absolutely thrilled! I felt like God had answered my prayers and that now I would be able to FINALLY achieve my goal,\u201d says Haroun. \u201cThe online program gave me a chance to make the dream come true, to make the impossible possible for me. I\u2019m so happy and so thankful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Haroun\u2019s daughter Sarah graduated from UTC in 2012 with a B.S. in psychology. She currently resides in Kuwait and works as a therapist. Haroun\u2019s younger daughter, Sallee, is currently enrolled at UTC. Sarah and Sallee used to come to classes with Haroun when they were out of school<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12869\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/12\/haroun-mervat-2014-online-mba-20.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" data-attachment-id=\"12869\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2014\/12\/kuwaiti-student-reenrolls-utc-pursue-mba-online\/haroun-mervat-2014-online-mba-20\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/12\/haroun-mervat-2014-online-mba-20.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"900,600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;9&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Jaimie Davis&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D800&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1395141449&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;140&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.005&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"haroun-mervat-2014-online-mba-20\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Merfat Haroun&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/12\/haroun-mervat-2014-online-mba-20.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-12869 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/12\/haroun-mervat-2014-online-mba-20-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Mervat Haroun\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/12\/haroun-mervat-2014-online-mba-20-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/12\/haroun-mervat-2014-online-mba-20-580x386.jpg 580w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/12\/haroun-mervat-2014-online-mba-20-610x406.jpg 610w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/12\/haroun-mervat-2014-online-mba-20-250x166.jpg 250w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/12\/haroun-mervat-2014-online-mba-20-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2014\/12\/haroun-mervat-2014-online-mba-20.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mervat Haroun<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI went to high school in Kuwait and I made friends there, so initially I didn\u2019t plan to return to Chattanooga.
