Bio

Hi, Its Jood! I am a high school student with a passion for medicine and a desire to make a positive impact on the world. I have always been fascinated by the intricacies of the human brain and its ability to control our thoughts, movements, and emotions. This fascination led me to pursue a career in neurosurgery, with the ultimate goal of improving the lives of people suffering from neurological conditions. Growing up, I watched my parents work hard to provide for our family, instilling in me a strong work ethic and a desire to give back to my community. I understand the importance of education and how it can open doors to new opportunities, which is why I am determined to pursue a degree in neurosurgery. My long-term goal is to become a renowned neurosurgeon, recognized for my expertise in the field and my commitment to providing high-quality care to my patients. My journey to where I am today has been filled with many challenges, but I have always been motivated by my desire to succeed. Throughout high school, I have taken rigorous science and math courses to prepare myself for the demands of a medical education. I have also volunteered at local hospitals and clinics, gaining hands-on experience in the medical field and developing a deeper appreciation for the work that healthcare professionals do every day.

    DV Awareness Scholarship in Memory of Teresa Cox, Rhonda Cox and Jimmie Neal
    Domestic violence is a serious issue that affects millions of people around the world, including those in Palestine. As someone who has personally experienced the devastating effects of domestic violence, I am committed to raising awareness about this issue and doing everything I can to help those who are impacted by it. In order to raise awareness for domestic violence, I plan to utilize various platforms and tools to educate and inform others about the realities of this issue. One of the ways I intend to do this is by creating and sharing content on social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. By using these platforms, I can reach a large audience and spread information about the different forms of domestic violence, how to recognize it, and how to seek help. Additionally, I plan to partner with local organizations and community leaders to organize events that raise awareness and educate people about domestic violence. These events could include workshops, seminars, and panels that bring together survivors, advocates, and experts to share their experiences and provide resources for those who are affected by domestic violence. Furthermore, I believe that it is important to engage with policymakers and advocate for legislation that protects victims of domestic violence and holds abusers accountable. As such, I plan to collaborate with organizations that work to reform and strengthen laws related to domestic violence. Through these actions, I hope to create a supportive and informed community that can recognize the signs of domestic violence and provide resources for those who are impacted by it. I believe that by raising awareness about this issue, we can change societal attitudes towards domestic violence and empower survivors to seek help and support. Moreover, my actions will help impact the lives of others in various ways. Firstly, by educating others about the realities of domestic violence, people will be better equipped to recognize it and support survivors. Secondly, by collaborating with organizations and policymakers, we can work towards legal and societal changes that protect victims and hold abusers accountable. Thirdly, by creating a supportive community, we can provide a safe space for survivors to seek help and healing. In conclusion, I am committed to raising awareness for domestic violence and doing everything I can to help those who are impacted by it. Through social media, community events, and collaboration with organizations and policymakers, I believe that we can create a better future for survivors of domestic violence.

    Success is a subjective term that can mean different things to different people. However, for me, success means being able to make a positive impact on the world and achieve one's goals and aspirations. Someone in my life who embodies success, as I define it, is my mother. My mother has always been a role model and an inspiration to me. She is a doctor and has dedicated her life to serving others. Her dedication and commitment to her profession have been nothing short of admirable. From a young age, I saw how hard my mother worked, how much she cared about her patients, and how much she loved her job. I knew from then on that I wanted to follow in her footsteps and become a doctor myself. Growing up, my mother was always there for me, offering love, support, and guidance. She encouraged me to follow my dreams, even when they seemed impossible. She helped me realize that anything was possible if I put my mind to it and worked hard. Her unwavering support gave me the confidence to pursue my goals and aspirations, and for that, I am forever grateful. As I got older, my mother's dedication and commitment to her profession became even more apparent. She would often work long hours, often sacrificing her personal time, to ensure that she is doing her work the best. As I began my journey towards becoming a doctor myself, my mother's guidance and support were instrumental in helping me overcome the challenges and obstacles I faced. She was always there to offer advice, encouragement, and support, reminding me that success was possible with hard work and perseverance. Her words of wisdom and encouragement helped me push through the difficult times and emerge stronger on the other side. My mother's success as a doctor has taught me that success is not just about achieving financial stability or professional accolades; it's about finding one's purpose and passion in life and working towards it. It's about making a positive impact on the world and contributing to society in a meaningful way. My mother's dedication and commitment to her profession have inspired me to work towards making a positive impact on society and making a difference in people's lives. In conclusion, my mother is a shining example of success as she embodies the qualities of dedication, perseverance, and unwavering support.

    Losing a close family member or loved one can be an incredibly challenging and emotional experience. When my uncle passed away, it was one of the most difficult times of my life. However, in the midst of my grief and pain, I also found myself reflecting on what truly matters in life and what I want to fight to achieve. One thing that losing my uncle taught me was the fragility of life. It reminded me that we are all going to die one day, no matter what. This realization was a wake-up call for me, and it made me think about the legacy I want to leave behind. I started to think about what I wanted to achieve in my life and what kind of impact I want to make on the world.

It requires a lot of hard work, dedication, and sacrifice, but I know that the end result will be worth it. When I think about all of the people I will be able to help, it makes me feel like the sacrifices I make along the way are worth it.

    Book Lovers Scholarship
    If I could have everyone in the world read just one book, I would choose "The Pursuit of Perfect" by Tal Ben-Shahar. This book highlights the dangerous and unrealistic expectations that society has placed on individuals to achieve perfection. It's not just about personal perfection but also extends to the perfection of relationships, careers, and physical appearance. The pressure to be perfect has been growing in recent years with the rise of social media, where people are constantly exposed to filtered and idealized versions of others' lives. This leads many to feel like they are not enough, leading to a lack of self-esteem, dissatisfaction, and even depression. The author argues that the pursuit of perfection is a losing battle, and instead, we should focus on finding happiness and fulfilment in the present moment. One of the key messages of the book is that the definition of perfection is subjective and that it is impossible to achieve because perfection is always changing. Ben-Shahar argues that people should stop striving for perfection and start embracing imperfection. The author also emphasizes the importance of gratitude and the positive impact it can have on our lives. The book is not just about the negative impact of perfectionism, but it also provides practical tips and exercises that readers can use to develop a more positive and fulfilling outlook on life. By reading "The Pursuit of Perfect," individuals can learn to recognize and break free from the cycle of perfectionism and develop more realistic expectations for themselves and others. In conclusion, if everyone in the world were to read "The Pursuit of Perfect," it could help shift the global mindset from perfectionism to a more balanced and fulfilling way of life. It could reduce stress, anxiety, and depression and promote greater happiness, gratitude, and fulfilment.

    Humour and Childhood Innocence in Personal Anecdote As a young child, I was often innocent and full of imagination. My mind was free from societal norms and expectations, allowing me to have a unique perspective on the world around me. One such experience that showcases this is the time when I saw a tent and immediately thought it was a wedding. This anecdote displays both the humour and innocence of childhood and highlights the importance of maintaining a youthful outlook on life. At the age of four, I was fascinated by weddings. I had attended a few in the past and was captivated by the joy and excitement that surrounded these events. So, when I saw a tent, my mind immediately jumped to the thought of a wedding and I eagerly put on my dress, which I loved to wear no matter the occasion. I was so excited to attend the wedding that I ran towards the tent even though I was still in my pyjamas. However, as I ran towards the tent, I quickly realized that this was not a wedding. It was, in fact, a funeral. My uncle quickly intervened, picking me up and taking me back home. Despite the disappointment, my imagination and youthful spirit shone through as I continued to smile and giggle, even in the face of confusion. This experience showcases the innocence and humour of childhood. Children are often free from societal expectations and can see the world in their unique way. In my case, my imaginative mind and love for weddings led me to mistakenly think that every tent was a wedding. This innocence is both heartwarming and hilarious, reminding me of the joys of having a youthful outlook on life. In conclusion, my childhood anecdote of thinking a funeral was a wedding serves as a testament to the power of imagination and the innocence that characterizes childhood. It highlights the importance of maintaining a sense of childlike wonder and humour, even as we grow older. This experience showcases my imaginative spirit and represents a reminder of the joys of seeing the world through a unique lens. Our lives are often weighed down by the pressures and responsibilities of adulthood, but it is crucial to take a step back and embrace the childlike aspects of our personalities. Whether it be through humour, imagination, or simply appreciating the little things in life, we should never lose touch with the innocence that makes life worth living. Childhood is a time of innocence and boundless potential, and we can all learn from the wonder and joy that characterized those formative years. By maintaining a touch of childhood, we can find greater happiness, fulfilment, and a renewed sense of purpose in life.

    The universe is one of the most captivating and mysterious things that we as humans have ever encountered. From the vast expanse of stars and galaxies to the smallest subatomic particles, the universe is filled with wonder and complexity that can leave us in awe. We must work to better understand the nature of the universe because this understanding can bring us closer to the truth of our existence and how we fit into the grand scheme of things. It also provides us with new knowledge and technology that can improve our lives and make our world a better place. One of the key ideas and concepts that I hope to employ in my quest to understand the universe is physics. Physics is the study of the laws of nature and how they govern the behaviour of matter and energy in the universe. It is through this field that we can begin to understand how the universe was created, how it functions, and how it will evolve in the future. To do this, I plan to focus on areas of physics such as cosmology, quantum mechanics, and thermodynamics. Cosmology is the study of the universe as a whole and how it began, evolved and its future. This includes topics such as the Big Bang, dark matter, and dark energy. By gaining a deeper understanding of these concepts, I hope to learn more about the history and structure of the universe and how it affects our lives. Quantum mechanics, on the other hand, is the study of the behaviour of matter and energy at the smallest scales. It is through this field that I hope to gain a deeper understanding of the strange and fascinating world of quantum physics, including the principles of superposition, entanglement, and wave-particle duality. I believe that this understanding can lead to new technologies and applications in fields such as quantum computing and cryptography.
