Some people are naturally gifted at certain things, while others achieve excellence through sheer hard work and determination. My cousin Hadid is one of those people. Ten years ago, when she graduated from high school, her grades were too high to be accepted into the faculty of medicine, which was her ultimate goal. She wanted to be a pharmacist like her father. To my surprise, when I visited her, she wasn't sad or feeling despondent. Instead, she told me she would excel at this college. One day, as she accepted an offer from the faculty of Education's psychology department, I was surprised. She had silently set another goal for herself, and she is now a teaching assistant at the faculty of... But believe me, it wasn't a simple task. She was determined to succeed. She didn't sleep well, staying up late to study, scouring the internet and reading books on psychology. She has a wealth of knowledge about the subject and is still challenging herself. She is studying for her PhD, even though she has two young children.
