Interests
I have a deep passion for working with children, which has guided my interest in pursuing a career in pediatric medicine From a young age, I found joy in helping others, whether it was volunteering in elementary schools or engaging with kids in a childcare setting I am particularly interested in how healthcare can make a difference in the lives of children, especially those facing serious health challenges, which led me to consider specializing in pediatric oncology or cardiac surgery
Outside of my academic and professional aspirations, I enjoy learning about different cultures and languages I am fluent in Arabic and conversational in Turkish, which has broadened my perspective and deepened my desire to connect with diverse communities I also love reading, particularly books on science, medicine, and personal development, as they help me stay motivated and informed about my goals My hobbies reflect my desire to help others, continually grow, and stay curious about the world around me
