Today's education has been put under more pressure in recent years, as students must prove that they are well-rounded individuals to meet higher academic standards to enter college and university. Alongside academic excellence, extraordinary merits include an array of extracurricular activities in school, volunteering work, or mastering al-quran and hadith. But only in rare cases do schools provide their students with these kinds of skills and develop their social intelligence. I am lucky enough to be a part of the student body council to promote leadership, scholarship, human relations and cultural values. Last but foremost, I’m grateful for this amazing opportunity from AFS Program with collaborative engagements with University of Pennsylvania, and to my facilitators : Richa Parasher and Mahdia Mohseni. Thanks again.
