He enjoyed practicing his English and talking to the visitors from faraway places. In 2001, he met Floridians Tony and Patricia Leisner, and spent a few days with the couple.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLittle Sane, unlike the other kids, wasn\u2019t trying to sell jewelry or t-shirts or just asking for money,\u201d Patti Leisner said. \u201cHe just wanted to talk to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before the Leisners left, Haidara presented Tony with a business card he\u2019d made for himself, which included an email address from his school account, and asked if they could be pen pals. And so was born a relationship that ultimately brought him to the states and to a bachelor\u2019s degree in Public Policy and Administration from St. Petersburg College.<br \/>\nThe youngest of seven children, Haidara was raised by parents who put a huge value on education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a teacher, my father tried to encourage the community to send their kids to school,\u201d Haidara said. \u201cHe went house to house to invite children in the neighborhood to come home and study with us. He wanted to make sure all children were educated, including the girls, who were often denied an education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tony and Patti kept up with his grades throughout his schooling, and they supplemented his studies with American English lesson cassettes and books.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe got extraordinary grades,\u201d Tony said. \u201cHe won awards and distinguished himself with a commitment to education.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Becoming an international student<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When high school was done, all the time spent honing his languages among the tourists paid off. Haidara is fluent in French, English and three African languages, and he speaks limited German and Arabic. His abilities landed him a job as a translator, and he earned enough to pay for college. He was unhappy with what was available to him in Mali, so he asked the Leisners to sponsor him as a student. They happily agreed, and helped him through the visa process. Tony, who teaches Public Policy and Administration at Walden University, was also on the board for Worknet Pinellas, so he was aware of the programs available to International students at St. Petersburg College and recommended that he enroll there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew this was going to be a little bit of a culture shock for him,\u201d he said, \u201cand SPC had great remediation. I knew that once they got him over the humps, he would do well.\u201d<br \/>\nCenter for International Programs Director Ramona Kirsch said that from the moment Sane entered SPC, he proved to be an exceptional international student.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSane quickly became involved in student activities, encouraged SPC international students to become civically engaged, and served as a role model for students around the state of Florida by being chosen as a peer leader for the annual Florida International Leadership Conference,\u201d Kirsch said. \u201cWe look forward to seeing great things from him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Haidara enrolled in the Public Policy and Administration program, landed a job as a Student Assistant in the Fine Arts Department, and set about joining several campus organizations, including International Club, in which he became President, American and Arabic Cultural Association, Phi Theta Kappa and the City\/County Management Association, where he is finishing his term as Vice President. He also volunteered as a French tutor, a summer camp counselor for disadvantaged children and offered himself as a speaker to several organizations. He was also part of SPC\u2019s Model United Nations team, which won the designation of \u201cOutstanding Delegation\u201d at the Collegiate Model UN conference in D.C. last fall. Haidara attributes his success to becoming so involved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was welcomed as a community member,\u201d Haidara said. \u201cThe International Program at SPC helped me through and gave me a lot of guidance and advice, but getting involved helped me overcome a lot of challenges, make friends and build leadership skills. Any student who wants to be successful should be involved in order to do well and overcome challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A commitment to his community<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Haidara not only graduated with a 3.32 grade point average, but also, his Capstone Project outlined a program that would offer three meals a day to schoolchildren in Timbuktu.<br \/>\n\u201cGrowing up, I saw friends and community children who were not be able to attend school because of poverty. They were needed to work. I hope this would encourage them to go to school and encourage parents to send them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Haidara is currently applying to master\u2019s programs, where he hopes to refine his project, then take it back to Mali to see if he can get it off the ground and make it sustainable. He hopes to work with Mali\u2019s government and other international organizations to see how he can implement this program. He feels that he was equipped to do so by the Public Policy Program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProfessor Kronschnabl gave me the support I need to learn to be a good leader,\u201d Haidara said. \u201cHe provided a lot of knowledge to help Mali. You talk to experts in the community, and you learn to do presentations in the community. You gain work experience \u2013 it\u2019s not just class work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kronschnabl described Haidara as an outstanding individual with real character. His character and efforts were acknowledged with multiple foundation scholarships. He was also named Clearwater\u2019s Dr. Theodore Mazzu Student Scholar of the Year award, Most Engaged International Student and was asked to speak at SPC\u2019s Summer 2016 graduation ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Leisners, his mother traveled from Timbuktu, and his sister and brother-in-law came with their children from Washington, D.C. to see him shine.In his speech, he urged listeners to become active their own communities, saying,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Africa, we have many sayings. We believe that if we stand tall it is because we stand on the backs of those who came before us, and we believe that tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it. More importantly, we believe that a single bracelet does not jingle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Leisners are pleased with the man that the young boy they met in 2001 has become.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were so proud,\u201d Patti said. \u201cNot just for Sane, but also for us and his family. It was particularly great for his mother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were absolutely stunned at the quality and the content of his speech, and his delivery and poise. I attribute that to the terrific support he\u2019s had at SPC,\u201d Tony said.<br \/>\nHaidara credits his father, who passed away in 2006, with his drive to make a difference in the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy father did tireless work to encourage the education of boys and girls in the community. He believed a community could address its own problems if it was educated. That really encouraged me to try and fulfill his wish and hope to see all children educated.\u201d<br \/>\nThough he plans to eventually return to Timbuktu and work to better his community, Haidara said he will always have a connection to St. Petersburg College.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSPC gave me training and confidence and made me realize I can achieve anything,\u201d he said. \u201cI want to thank SPC faculty and staff. They really work hard to make student success come first. When I first started, I didn\u2019t know if I\u2019d do well, but if you want to study, SPC will always help you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Growing up in Timbuktu When St. Petersburg College International Student Sane Haidara was an 11-year-old boy growing up in Timbuktu, Mali, he liked to hang out around the hotels in what was then a tourist destination.
