I decided to study medicine at university because being a doctor means the future is full of hope. The hope that I can give it to people and make them suffer less from their diseases or injuries.
Once I achieve my degree and my internship in Gaza, I will specialise in brain surgery. It’s a speciality that can help people here in Gaza because people often have to travel to receive treatment and while people are waiting for referrals and visas, the diseases can get worse. I want to do research and studies in this field and try to add something to it, something that will make humanity suffer less and give it hope.
Unfortunately last year, my father died, leaving me and my mother and 3 brothers. We live in a rented house; neither my brothers nor I nor my mother work. The only source of income is my father’s salary from the government. Two of us are studying at IUG and the other two are still at school. The tuition fees are very expensive. I was worried that maybe I could not continue with my dream of becoming a doctor.
Thank you for this money. We are all so happy that I was chosen. It helped me to enrol for the next semester at IUG, helping me to continue my way to becoming a doctor.
