Professional :: Four year curriculum at
SUNY
State College of Optometry-- located in the heart of manhattan [on 42nd
street between 5th and 6th Avenue] -- right across from Bryant Park.
Insha'Allah the objective is to become an optometrist.
[ optometry: the art or profession of examining the eye for defects and faults
of refraction and prescribing correctional lenses or exercises; dealing with
diseases of the eye ]
Undergraduate:: B.A. in biology from the College of Arts and Sciences
at New York University (NYU) alhamdulillah.
[Biology major with Pre-Med requirements and a minor in Middle Eastern Studies]
NYU is located in Greenwich Village-- an eccentric place where people of all
tastes and appearances come together. We don't really have a campus--
which is both advantageous and disadvantageous. I really (x 3) enjoyed my
time here-- especially my senior year, due largely because of my involvement
with the
Islamic
Center on campus.
High School :: Four
years at
Midwood
High School (at Brooklyn College, of course). All in all, I had great
experiences at this school. Midwood has a renowned medical science and
research program that attracts many eager science students every year.
Being in the rigorous Westinghouse program was a highlight of my high school
career and definitely a rewarding experience.
Junior High School:: Three years at
Mark
Twain for the Gifted and Talented -- I.S. 239. It attracted students
with different talents, i.e. Science, Math, Creative Writing, Art, Drama,
Athletics. I was in the Math Talent.. basically learning programs and
software (on Macs, so, umm, well.....i'm kinda against the whole concept
of macs... but i wont go there. :)
Elementary School :: 5 good old years at P.S. 253.
