There is On This Earth What Makes Life Worth Living ,على هذه الأرض ما يستحقُ الحياة

I'm happy to share a significant achievement this semester – being recognized as a semifinalist for the Rising Arab Change Makers Award! I had the honor of presenting the Psych Friends team in a competition focusing on the social impact of smart Psych and its alignment with Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3). We delved into how our initiative is making waves in the mental health space, contributing to a healthier and happier community.

As part of my extracurricular education, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in the Master Class on Migraines with Pfizer, the Association of Migraine Disorders, and the IVPN Network, it was a game-changer.

The class delved deep into the intricacies of understanding and managing migraines. From cutting-edge research to practical insights, it was a holistic journey. I'm thrilled to have this newfound expertise,we learned about the potential treatments of migraine in the future and many important topics.

I had the fantastic opportunity to participate in an event focused on dosage forms. This happened not too long ago, adding an extra layer of knowledge to my journey.
The event was all about demystifying dosage forms for students from other faculties. We took on the challenge of breaking down complexities and ensuring everyone could use dosage forms correctly. Think of it as a crash course in understanding what's in that pill and how to differentiate between various forms.

Recently, I had the privilege of attending a transformative workshop on capacity building, strategically timed before the end of 2023. The workshop was designed to equip me with a fresh mindset for the new year, focusing on understanding my passion, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and honing the skills needed for my chosen career path.
The workshop delved into practical aspects, guiding me through the art of crafting a compelling CV, writing a stellar cover letter, and mastering the art of interviews. It has been an enlightening experience, and I can already feel the positive impact on my academic and professional journey.
Your unwavering support has been the driving force behind these opportunities, and I am immensely grateful for each one of you who believes in my aspirations. Together, we are not just funding an education; we are investing in a future filled with endless possibilities.

by the end of the 4 days workshop I wrote this message to my future self as a concluding activity

My journey from a young refugee girl in Syria to an empowered student with a startup dedicated to mental health is a testament to the transformative power of education and the generosity of individuals like you. I am committed to seizing every opportunity to learn, grow, and give back to my community. Together, we can continue to make a positive impact, proving that even in the face of adversity, there is hope, resilience, and the potential to change the world.

I've just started my internship at a health care center related to MAPS as a Pharmacist assistant am really enjoying the experience and helping people with the drugs they need

I've accomplished both Spring and summer courses with an average GPA 3.65, including microbiology, anatomy and other pharmacy related topics which could help me in helping patients in the future

because I want to updated to the technology development, and I am obsessed with robotics, I've participated in 2 robotics courses

I hope in the future I can design a certain project that links pharmaceutical studies with technology and robotics

I've been involved in many activities that are related to my major. To illustrate, I've joined the LIU Pharmacy Club (Pharmily) , and LPSA, the Lebanese pharmacy students association, I have enjoyed many activities with them, and I've attended many medical events such as, mental health awareness, renal health awareness, cardiac health awareness and many other topics

here are some screenshots from the webinars I had been engaged in:

(unfortunately, we could only meet virtually due to the pandemic)

Because I believe in the power of education, I started giving a little child private lessons; His name is Hasan and he is 9 years old. Hasan's father died during the war in Syria and that's why he have many psychological problems and pronunciation difficulties; to illustrate he was not able to read when I first met him.

yesterday and After a one month of private lessons, he was able to read very well, and I was really happy for this.

The first semester in my University has ended, and it was really a fruitful semester.

I learnt many important information regarding my major such as, the basic information about pharmacy, the different forms and dosage of a certain drug and how to use drugs safely. Moreover, I learnt about many significant topics in biology and chemistry which I will really benefit from in my field.

On the other side, I have made many good friends. we don't meet due to the pandemic, so we make virtual meeting every weekend. Even we meet virtually they are really amazing friends who made my first semester very interesting.

here is a screenshot of one of our meetings:

Eventually, I want to thank my generous donor in kind who gives me the chance to finish this semester successfully with a high GPA.

The second semester has started last week, and I am really enthusiastic about it. I have registered new interesting courses such as, Anatomy, physiology, organic chemistry, microbiology, history of pharmacy and many other significant courses.
