“You helped me at the time that I was most vulnerable, a time that I thought I was rejected, no longer wanted, I was feeling low and depressed. Then you came into my life, you made me Do Hawood, you helped me Do Hawood. Then everything turned around. I stopped thinking about the tuition fees and focusing on study, not worrying about anything but learning. My slope of improvement went up straight and i finally ended up not only graduating this year and gaining the tittle Doctor of Medicine, but also became the third best Doctor of the graduating team.”
