Greetings! Welcome to my profile on the generous Bold.org! My name is Kauthar Alrifaie, and I am a senior in high school. I have yet to obtain my high school diploma, but I will say this: I have always had, and still have, great hope for the future. Therefore, while my achievements may not be notable compared to other amazing profiles, I am proud of what I have achieved thus far, and my objectives for the years to come. I have always excelled in academics earning me honor roll throughout all of high school. I am also proud of my heritage, family, culture, and religion. I have witnessed enough to make anyone’s head go gray, whether it be emotional/financial/mental struggles, death, or even the gruesome nature of war and violence - I have seen it all. Due to this, I have one goal: to become a physician and help humanity. The human body has always fascinated me, as no matter how much I know, there’s still more to explore. From the size of an atom, to how human systems cooperate to allow eight billion people to live on one planet of the millions in our solar system, there’s always something new to learn. So, obtaining an M.D. will satisfy my curiosity and support others throughout their hardships. To end things, there’s no way I can capture all sides of my personality, so this much will have to do. At first, I felt defeated seeing the thousands of successful student profiles. But please remember this: despite feeling like a lamb amongst the talented wolves on beautiful Bold.org, I chose to be BOLD and take on this challenge!
