I've always recognised myself as an 'introvert' and feared public speaking, but I don't want it as a label for myself to stop me from reaching my full potential.  
I challenged myself harder each year in performing and speaking on stage, and finally from this honoured scholarship, I made it.  
I truly hope that my story can inspire more people who are not that confident to believe in themselves and keep trying and fighting towards their goals. 

I am very proud to be an academic scholar at Hiba. Yes, it is impressive. The academic scholarship is an honour for me, it means my teachers have recognized my performance. lt encourages me to study harder in future.

I enjoy psychology, studying society and helping others, so as a scholar, l had the chance to conduct an investigation on this topic with some help from my teachers. This is a big advantage for me because I can develop my research skills, which will certainly be vital in the future.

Wellington's immersive learning environment helped me take my English abilities to the next level. And I earned a silver medal in the United States Academic Decathlon's maths competition. Attending Wellington was a truly enriching experience.
