Personal Statement

I don't want my life to slip away without having done enough to fight the injustice that exists on our planet. Given that our time is so brief and we have so much potential, it makes no sense to me why we let hatred and indifference endure. My faith, Islam, has taught me that the path to follow is one of compassion, patience, and honesty. My family roots are in Pakistan. Frequent travels abroad exposed me to beautiful cultures but also global challenges from a young age. It's devastating to realize how many people, especially children, are denied access to basic human rights such as clean water and education. As such, the issues that I'm most passionate about are sustainable development and peace. On campus, I am involved with Dwight Hall, our center for public service and social justice, and The Yale Globalist, an international affairs magazine. I've enjoyed becoming a part of the New Haven community and learning more about the city through civic engagement.
