“Sheikh Mubarak Scholarship has truly transformed my journey as a medical student. Knowing that someone has invested in my future pushes me to work even harder so that I can one day make a positive impact as a doctor. Medicine can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when faced with the sheer volume of information. But with time and patience, I’ve found that the learning process becomes enjoyable and even exhilarating. Reflecting on the past few months, I am proud to see how much I’ve learned and grown, and I am excited to continue this journey.” Haneen, Medicine student
