[...] With the possibility of studying in universities such as Nantes or Paris, it is clear that I was able to access very good quality training programs (if I compare to the Comoros) and unique teaching methods. But as I announced in the preamble to my proposal, it is indeed the specialization in a specific domain, namely geography at the master's level that I had to use my international mobility. In fact, there is no possibility of pursuing studies beyond the license in geography in the Comoros. [...]
[...] Conclusion To summarize my proposal, I can confirm here that student mobility has been a true investment for my future. Despite the difficulties, it has offered me many advantages, whether on an academic or professional level. It has allowed me to better develop my skills, broaden my horizons, and prepare myself as best as possible for a professional life in a field that was far from my concerns before leaving the Comoros. As the Comorian novelist Salim Hatubou affirms in his book titled 'Hamouro' (2006): 'You demand that I say it, so I say it '4. [...]
[...] In this context, I will first explain the objectives of my mobility by explaining my motivations. The objectives of my mobility From my introductory proposal, it is essential to understand that the main aspiration to achieve international mobility within the framework of my studies was to create a future far from the poverty that reigns in the Comoros. In fact, my motivations were both personal and professional, even if they complement each other.

[...] Our generation is familiar with the rapper Soprano, from the southern French city, who comes from a Comorian family. This is an example that represents, for me as a Comorian, the hope of a better future if one works hard. For me, France was also the possibility of confronting a very rich culture and a diversity that was put to the test. Not knowing anything about the Comoros until the day of my departure for French university, I imagined great cities with inhabitants from all over the world (especially in Paris, the city of the world par excellence), grandiose landscapes like in the Alps. [...]
[...] In fact, leaving one's home, family, native land is not a given. Escaping one's condition, escaping 'social determinism' to take up the theme dear to sociologist Pierre Bourdieu2, imposed on me the path of exile. What happened to me happened to most of the young women and men of my generation in the Comoros, as the prospects for the future are slim, as if we were all under the perpetual threat of a volcanic eruption of Karthala, which sits in majesty on the main island of the Comoros.
