Strive to achieve our goals

When I graduated, I had the ambition to pursue high studies in genetics, but unfortunately, I could not get sufficient funds or scholarship. I have worked in Libya, on an animal development project, before and after graduating from the College of Veterinary Medicine, because of my passion for genetics, I participated in many field trials to improve livestock and sheep breeds. I managed to travel to Dubai and then to Norway, where I got an opportunity with CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). I was immersed in work and did not have enough time to study.
In 2020, I have been granted a master's degree in advanced clinical immunology, and now I,m trying to make an achievement it might benefit people, because in the years that I worked in the field of veterinary medicine, I did not contribute to real development, but was focused on achieving economic stability. I'm a 1st year Ph.D. researcher, in Biomedical Sciences. My research field: Investigating the effect of sex hormones on phagocytic cells. People often ask me what is the secret that makes me look younger than my age, simply, I am at peace with myself, I hope you are, and hope to represent your perspectives, which will be a source of inspiration.
We have convergent goals, we simply decided to continue studying regardless of age.
