I am passionate about
In the 1970's the United Arab Emirates' leaders had a great vision for our country and today it is one of the world's fastest growing and leading countries. As an Emirati, I am grateful for the living and educational opportunities that my country has offered me. I received an American education throughout my life from one of the many private international schools in the UAE and I am now continuing my education in the American University of Sharjah which offers world class education and is one of the leading schools in the region. I am very passionate about INTERFAITH DIALOGUE and I believe us people all belong to small different circles but they are all within a bigger circle which is humanity. I chose to study Mass Communications and the MEDIA is definitely one of my main interests. I believe that it is the century's most powerful weapon in getting ideas around but as much as it serves us in bringing the world together it also pushes us apart. Bias media around the world has led to many misconceptions in people's minds and I hope that with time, globalization and education that people will learn to overcome certain stereotypes and get to know the world for what it really is. I am also very passionate about HEALTH. I believe that health awareness is very important and with the medical technology available in our world today it has become possible to overcome almost any disease. I conclude by saying, a healthy world that excels in communication is a PEACEFUL WORLD.
