"If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place"
I have always dreamed of studying Arabic as I have passion to this sacred language. At school, I was always a top student especially in Arabic courses. In Tawjihi, I enrolled in the humanities track and got a GPA of 96.2% and 149/150 in the Arabic language exam.

Achieving these excellent grades, I was able to enrol in An-Najah's Arabic Language programme. I chose An-Najah because it has a great reputation and homes excellent staff members. In my second year, I enrolled in the Faculty of Honors programmes.
During my university years, I was also a top student and I met great minds such as Dr. Ihsan Al-Deek who is an expert in analysing old poetry through mythological methods. Then, I started reading books on mythology.
During my third year of study, I found that I was able to conduct a research paper. With encouragement of Dr. Al-Deek and in one year duration, I was able to write two research papers which were published by two journals in Algeria and Iraq.
As a senior I participated in several conferences and international contests.
Years passed, in the blink of an eye, and I graduated from the Arabic Language Department with a GPA of 3.95/4. With this GPA, I was the top student in the Faculty of Humanities. Currently, I am looking forward to achieving more success in my career life and upgrading the Arabic language and heritage.
