Why science matters for Saudi:
As Saudi Arabia reaches for its many goals, including Vision 2030, it's essential that the community strives to increase its wealth of knowledge. To be at the forefront of STEM innovation and lead the country and the world toward a better future, Saudi citizens must work diligently.

Best classes so far / What I’m doing now:
So far, the academic writing course in my Foundation Year program has been the most interesting. It really helps me process my ideas and turn them into something creative, something that can help me understand myself better. We speak a lot about literature and often have many creative tasks that inspire a different mindset when it comes to writing both academically and creatively. This course is especially applicable to writing essays for college applications and is essential for my academic future.
