“My character has been deeply shaped by the selflessness of the servants in my church and the values of the Coptic community. Guided by supportive teachers and inspired by my parents' unwavering dedication, I have always been driven to strive for excellence. This foundation led me to take on leadership roles both at school and within my community. Furthermore, my experience working in a physical therapy office has solidified my sense of purpose, fueling my decision to major in kinesiology.”
