Biochemistry is the Secret of my Future
“Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do,” which serves as my personal motto as I find myself a very passionate person, always looking for the top. In addition, having experienced different kinds of adversity, I learned the value of not giving up. In fact, instead of giving up, I worked on prospective solutions to which I struggled with. In spite of this merit, striving for success is always a characteristic of mine.
Graduation from the Faculty of Applied Medical Sciences, at the Umm Al-Qura University (UQU) in Saudi Arabia, in 2009 was not very easy since its courses were intensive and difficult. During my first year, I took general academic courses. Within my second year, I focused on the basics required for medical practitioners. My third year was mainly concentrated on the theoretical and practical background of Clinical Chemistry, Urine analysis, and other courses. Although my overall score in Biochemistry was not so high as my other scores, I was pleased to see my diligent effort did not go to waste. By the time I was in my fourth year, I mastered most of the manual techniques, which supported my knowledge while I was doing my graduation research. More specifically, my graduation project was centered on the topic of "The Prevalence of Anti-Hepatitis E Virus Antibodies Among Male Blood Donors." Although it did not directly connect to the field of Biochemistry, it was an outstanding study to conduct. Working through this study expanded my tiny imagination and let me see that nothing is an absolute, pure science. For example, I had to crunch numbers, analyze statistics and use chemical substances to complete my study. Lastly, I spent two months learn...

... interest of research helps me recognize an alternative solution to terminating or limiting the side effects of cancer remediation. His team is concerned with cell toxicity by monitoring the cellular signaling pathways that are induced by toxicants. This generates a potential method of assessing the biological responses of a drug and how much it affects the patients' health. The process of detoxification might illustrate another way to reduce or completely avoid the possible side effects related to cancer treatment.
Finally, I know by reputation and from students' comments that this program is not only very challenging, but it is also rewarding. I am self-motivated, enthusiastic, and analytical when it comes to Science and research. These criteria including my unstoppable perseverance and dedication guarantee that I am a perfect match to be enrolled in this program.
