Affiliations

I am a permanent member of the National Society for Leadership and Success. Over the course of the four years in Tennessee, Knoxville, the state of volunteers, I learned how to give to open the way for many gifts to come to me. All the students around me need is an example of hard work and constant encouragement for them. I always stand by those I work and study with in difficult circumstances and change their way of thinking for the better and understand how to deal with difficulties. I have the skill of solving problems, setting realistic and practical future, and helping others to adhere to them. I speak Arabic, have a driver's license, and I speak English, so for example I helped many women pass the driving test through free lessons. I volunteer hours at Pellissippi at graduation ceremonies and other out-of-hours celebrations. I also help students who do not have a car to go to university. I am a student and all I can help with is my time, effort, and support for those around me, and I try hard to set a good example.
