About
This is Amal Assy. I am 20 years old and I am studying medicine at Alexandria University grade 3. I have a great passion in scientific research. Recently, I am working on a research program about colorectal cancer in Egypt in cooperation with Alabama University in USA. Moreover, I joined more than one research journal club where I learned the basics of research. I’d like to say with all pride that I do lots of things besides my study. I am studying two language Italian and German. I’d like to mention that I am a big fan of public speaking and presentation skills. I was a former trainer in a civil work called “Dare To Speak” where we learned participants how to have good presentation skills. I was also chosen as the best speaker in the annual conference in my collage this year. I also have a big commitment to my society and always seeking for making it a better place. I was a participant in a project called “Youth voices” and “Active Citizins” from the British Council where I learned how to be an active citizen and I was chosen as one of the best 10 participants. In addition, I was the General Assistant in the Medical Education committee in Alexandria Students’ Scientific Association and our role was advocating & educating medical students about health issues. Finally, I’d like to say that I am a person who is main purpose in life is to be better day after day and to inspire other youths by proving them that they can achieve more than they can ever imagine!
