She had a powerful vision and to this day she never stopped working towards that goal. She wanted a better future for her nation; she wanted to provide hope for the citizens of Qatar. Her passion to improve Qatar is truly admirable. She looked for a better change in all aspects for her country, therefore I am truly proud to declare her a role model. She is an inspiration to all of us, whether we are from this generation or the one before or the upcoming one, we are all honored to have witnessed the great impact Sheikha Moza had on this country.
