Assalamualaikum, Hello, Hola, Bonjour, Namaste, Nǐ hǎo, Annyeonghaseyo, Sawasdee, Marhaban!
Hi there! Stick with me for more inspiring stories from my journey as a lecturer.
Remember, as a khalifah on Earth, being a good person is a choice, and I firmly believe in “No pain, no gain” for achieving any dream I pursue.
…my life story began:
When I decided to pursue a master’s degree, my primary motivation was the opportunity to make new friends and learn more about people’s personalities and life experiences. This journey of discovery revealed to me a profound interest in psychology. The diversity in people’s characters fascinated me, driving me to understand them better. This newfound passion became the foundation of my master’s studies and ultimately led me to pursue a doctorate degree.
