\nHajer<\/em>: I\u2019m from Libya, and I currently live in Rochester, New York.<\/p>\n
\nHajer<\/em>: I\u2019m majoring in Biomedical Engineering.<\/p>\n
\nHajer<\/em>: My dad and my uncle both inspire me deeply. My dad is an engineer, and he\u2019s always encouraged me to think critically and pursue a career that blends innovation with purpose. My uncle is a surgeon, and seeing his dedication to helping others through medicine made me passionate about health care and biomedical engineering. Their hard work, passion, and commitment to making a difference have shaped the goals I\u2019m pursuing today.<\/p>\n
\nHajer<\/em>: After graduation, I plan to transfer to a four-year university to continue my studies in biomedical engineering. I\u2019m especially interested in prosthetics and assistive technology and hope to contribute to innovations that improve people\u2019s quality of life.<\/p>\n
\nHajer<\/em>: One of my favorite memories was serving as the president of the Muslim Student Association and also the Secretary of Student Government. It gave me the opportunity to create a welcoming space for students, foster interfaith collaborations, and celebrate diversity on campus. That experience helped me grow as a leader and connect with so many amazing people.<\/p>\n
\nHajer<\/em>: MCC provides a strong academic foundation, supportive faculty, and countless opportunities to get involved. Whether you’re just starting out or finding your path, it\u2019s a place where you can grow both personally and academically.<\/p>\n
\nHajer<\/em>: Don\u2019t be afraid to ask questions or seek help. It\u2019s okay to feel unsure sometimes, especially if you’re adjusting to a new environment. Get involved in clubs or events\u2014it\u2019s one of the best ways to find community and discover what you\u2019re passionate about.<\/p>\nAllannah Beth Howe<\/h2>\n

\nAllannah<\/em>: Rochester, NY.<\/p>\n
\nAllannah:<\/em> Fine Arts.<\/p>\n
\nAllannah: <\/em>People who know how to see the beauty in everything inspire me the most.<\/p>\n
\nAllannah: <\/em>After graduation, I plan to build my art and music brand and business.<\/p>\n
\nAllannah<\/em>: <\/strong>My favorite memory from MCC has been the singing sessions I’d have with my drawing class during our class break in my first semester.<\/p>\n
\nAllannah<\/em>: <\/strong>I would recommend MCC to other students for the simple fact that there is so much opportunity at MCC and so many amazing, smart, talented, and kind people to meet and connect with. The professors are so passionate about their job and supportive. MCC helps you grow.<\/p>\n
\nAllannah<\/em>: My best piece of advice would be to connect with your professors, get to know them, and let them know you. Because 9 times out of 10, they can help you with whatever you may be struggling with in the class or even in your personal life.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
