Hello, my name is Sarah. I moved from Iraq to the United States when I was 10 years old and have been living in Texas for the past six years. Being the only Muslim girl wearing a Hijab in the room was challenging, but I learned to be myself and embrace my identity and roots. I am a dedicated nursing student at UT Health San Antonio with a strong passion for healthcare and helping others. I moved from Iraq to the United States without knowing English, and through persistence and hard work, I learned the language and adapted to a new education system. This experience shaped my resilience, work ethic, and compassion for people facing challenges, especially those from diverse or immigrant backgrounds. I am currently building my knowledge in science and clinical care with the goal of becoming a registered nurse. My future goal is to serve diverse communities by providing compassionate, culturally aware care and to encourage others from similar backgrounds to pursue their educational dreams.
