  • Essay / Statement of Purpose for Mechanical Engineering

My family then moved to the United States of America and I became a resident there; I then started attending university in the United States. The first question that comes to mind for anyone who knows I'm a foreigner is "Where did you learn English?" ยป This story started when I was four years old. First, I was born in Egypt, then when I was four months old, the family moved to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for work. It was my time to start school; I went to a school called Asia School; the name obviously indicates that the school's population was predominantly Asian. It is considered one of the best schools in Saudi Arabia. This school taught me all the fundamentals of my education and I also had the chance to meet people from diverse backgrounds. Then, in 2002, my father's employer transferred him to another city. So it was time to move on after settling into my life and with my friends. I had to start over in a new place, attend a different school, and deal with people from different backgrounds than I'm used to.

All these events in my life have allowed me to meet people from completely different walks of life and to educate myself through completely different paths..
