Average GPA | 9-10 |
Current and Past Research Involvement | Currently, I am working
on my thesis; I'm working in Dr. Scoboria's False Memory lab. I've started
working in the lab assisting my lab mates in their own studies. Some unversity
courses did require research to be conducted, so I've gained insight through
Graduate students and professors on what it requires to conduct research.

Description of lab experience and duties | I've gained my experience
in lab in Dr. Scoboria's lab. As described in the Research description
above. I've assisted my lab mates in their work, so I was considered a
lab assistant. Currently, I'm considered an undergraduate honours researcher,
as I'm working on my undergraduate thesis |
Reasons for being a mentor | Personally, I love to
assist other students with their work whenever I am able to do so. I believe
that every student will need help at a certain point in university. As
well, I would like to share my experience with first year students so
they can make the right decisions in order to have a successful university
life. I've made few mistakes in my decisions, so I would like to let them
avoid such mistakes. As well, there is a chance that I'm going to do Graduate
Studies in Dubai, since my family is planning to move there. In Dubai,
I would be allowed to teach psychology courses or TA some courses, so
the mentorship program would make me gain experience in what they nature
of my position will be. |
Preferred method of communication | Meeting in person is
perfectly fine; as well e-mail is a great resource to reach me. |
Personal qualities desired for a protégé | I'm not fully clear on
this section, but I will describe my personal qualities. I'm a hard worker,
well-committed to my goals, potential, very well organized, excellent
communication skills, excellent language skills ( Arabic and English-including
speech, writing, and grammar). I love to gain knowledge whenever I have
the chance to do so, so surprisingly, and unlike most students, I love
studying!!! :)-Future Aspirations: I am planning to become a clinical
psychologist, as well teach psychology courses in university |
Extra Curricular Activities | I tutor students from
elementary and highschool; as well as some university students on my spare
time. As well, I've got the job in Family Respite Centre, and I will be
working with children with disabilities. |
General Interest | Generally, I'm interested
in becoming a mentor as I believe, although it might be limited, I will
gain experience in what it would be like to work with students from 1st
university level. As well, I find it interesting to remember the old days
in first year university, and gaining insight into the past makes me "structure"
my future well enough to achieve my goals |
