2016 Yaphet Robinson Human Equality Award Recipient

My name is Samah Osman. I will be attending the University of Western Ontario to study Health Science. I am driven, hardworking, willing to learn and passionate. My work habits have consistently put me ahead. My goal is to become a doctor of medicine. I chose medicine because I have a passion for science and helping others. Through medicine I will be able to have my passions and impact people’s lives every day. I would like to thank the Congress for creating opportunities for students and providing scholarships which positively impact individual lives and allow post-secondary education to become more accessible.
