Although I studied in the Natural Sciences Department at school, I have loved history since my childhood, and I was passionate about reading about the lives of previous eras, their costumes, and the laws that governed their lives. I grew up in the United Kingdom during my childhood, where my parents were completing their higher education, and we used to visit castles and museums a lot. My hobby was writing letters with a pen and trying on historical costumes. When I returned to my homeland, I enjoyed visiting the antiquities in the city of AlUla, and I became curious to discover a national civilization and heritage to learn the details of my ancestors’ lives.

​

I joined the Excellence Program at Mawhiba and received great support from my supervisor in the program. I applied to the strongest universities and - praise be to God - I was accepted into a number of them. I chose the university that suited me in the history major that I study passionately. There was great support from Mawhiba’s management in expediting the procedures for obtaining the scholarship and setting a date for issuing the visa at the embassy and issuing the financial guarantee. There was continuous follow-up until I arrived at Rice University and began my studies.

I thank Mawhiba for supporting me and enabling me to achieve my ambition and helping me throughout my journey to success.
