Salwa said, in an interview with the "Al-Youm" program, on the "Al-Ikhbariya" satellite channel, that she stopped studying after marriage to devote herself to her home and her children, noting that the dream of studying kept coming to her and she tried more than once, but her papers were not complete until she heard 6 years ago about “Al-Kabirat High School” for the return of those who dropped out of school again.
She added: "After attempts, I joined one of the intermediate classes to obtain the certificate. In one year, I finished the second and third grades and obtained the intermediate secondary certificate. After that, I joined the Senior High School for 3 years regularly and with the same old certificate in the scientific specialization and passed the tests."
Salwa Al-Omani explained that after this journey, she achieved her dream of joining the university and studying sociology, in which she reached the third year, stressing that she chose a literary major due to the difficulty of entering laboratories and studying any scientific discipline at this age.
