Personal StatementMy personal motto is expressed best by the words of Shaquille O’Neal, “Excellence is not asingular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.” I am a passionate person whoalways strives for excellence. Also, I ama self-motivated and active person with a scientificinterest in medical laboratory science. I graduated from King Saud University, Saudi Arabia, inClinical Laboratory Science with GPA 4.23(Out of 5); I concentrated on the theoretical andtechnical backgrounds of many subjects in the field of Medical Laboratory Science. My interestin the field of Medical laboratory science stems from the many research laboratories andopportunities in my country. These facilities have inspired my interest in pursuing highereducation and a career as a clinical laboratory specialist. Ultimately, I dream of the day when Ican utilize my skills and knowledge to improve health education, research, and diseaseprevention in Saudi Arabia.As the next step toward my goal of becoming a unique contributor to health sciences and mycommunity, I seek to join the University of Rhode Island (URI) graduate program in MedicalLaboratory Science. My personal background, academic accomplishments, professionaldevelopment activities and my intensive English courses for non-native English speakers thusfar have prepared me to take on the advanced courses at URI. Medical Laboratory Sciencefascinates me the most, because the sciences allowed me to take many different courses acrossbiological sciences that demand cogent logical analysis and creative thinking.In order to gain practical experience in my field, I conducted many research projects in myundergraduate program. My graduation research project was my most inspiring researchexperience. I researched hemolytic disease and its effect on newborns and fetuses, giving methe desire to explore more in Immunology. Upon completion of my undergraduate studies, Iundertook a one-year internship at Prince Sultan Military Medical City (PSMMC) in Riyadh,Saudi Arabia, as a Medical Specialist. This internship programprovided an excellent opportunityto apply the knowledge and skills gained during my undergraduate studies. During myinternship, and because of my hard work, the laboratory staff perceived me positively, and theyoffered me a permanent job.Upon completion of my internship, I accepted an employment offer at Prince Mohammed binAbdul-Aziz Hospital. This professional experience was one of the key factors that led me topursue graduate studies in the field of Medical Laboratory Science. While working at PrinceMohammed bin Abdul-Aziz Hospital, the opportunity to work as a Teaching Assistant at KingSaud University (KSU) presented itself, and I accepted it without hesitation knowing that itwould allow me to learn more about my passion, and it would help me to achieve my goal ofgetting a scholarship to support my postgraduate studies in Medical Laboratory Science. So, asa Teaching Assistant at KSU, the Ministry of Higher Education in Saudi Arabia is sponsoring mewith a full scholarship for my Master’s degree and this funding will continue into doctoralresearch, which is my ultimate goal. In my free time, I also volunteered at the Saudi Society forClinical Laboratory Sciences where I have been a member for two years.
