Picture with my parents! Without them and without their support I wouldn't be were I am today. So I am alway thankful for them

my one and only brother! He is 12 years older than me but he is my best friend! Supports me in everything I love and passionate about.

“In 2nd grade at Rosary Sister school in Jerusalem, I failed and I was kicked out of school.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Why? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because I was considered “stupid” for not being able to read as well as other kids.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In 5th grade Arabic class, when it was my turn to read, the teacher would skip me and tell me: “it’s okay you do not need to read”.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because, I was reading slower than everyone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ People told my parents multiple times to drop me out of school and find something “practical” for me to do instead.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In 10th grade, I asked my math teacher after class ended to reexplain one specific problem. His answer: “it’s okay, you are not going to understand it it’s a tough problem” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yes I also have dyscalculia.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I told one of my supposedly “friend” that I want to be a biomedical science researcher 🔬🧬🧫 her response was “oh, because it’s practical” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I finished my B.S. in Biology and minor in Chemistry from Winthrop University in South Carolina. In March 2020 , I got accepted at Augusta University to start my Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences. If I would’ve listened and believed what every person had told me, If my parents decided to give up on me & listen to people who told them to drop me out of school, I would never be where I am today! I wouldn't be were I am today without my parents. So thankful for them and their support. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I look at my disability as my super power! Without my learning disabilities I probably wouldn't be as determined and as derived. Before I started my undergraduate studies, I knew that majoring in Biology was going to require me to take many math classes I was always terrified. Also, before I started my fitness instagram I was hesitant, because I was afraid to make spelling mistakes, but I never let fear hold me back.

My point is, no matter what you are going through, no matter what people are telling you, no matter how hard it gets! KEEEP at it!! stay DETERMINED! IGNORE the ones who don’t believe in you, stay focus on your goals & keep HUSTLING. “
