A walk in to my world.

First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Zaynab. This is probably the first time I have ever attempted to write about myself. So, my brain is frazzled as to what I should write.

Well, I am in my first year of osteopathic medical school. I have always wanted to pursue a field in the medical profession, but I knew that I wanted my career prospects to hold a practical grasp, something other than sitting at a desk, writing away. I have always had an underlying passion for biology, human biology mostly, and this profession seemed to fit the criteria scope perfectly, by confining large biological breadth and physically being able to palpate and work on the body structures. Words cannot even begin to describe how much I love what I've chosen to do. Yes challenging could be considered an understatement. There is a huge amount of work to cover, especially as it is an integrated masters degree, but regardless of the time and hard work put in to it, the main thing is that I enjoy every second of it. Alhumdulilah.

So I grew up in an environment, where I was spurred to nothing else, but making my mum proud. My life so far, has definetely not been all daisies and sunshines. But I know I wish to pursue many things within my lifetime. I have an additional 5 degrees already planned for the future haha. No really I do. Because there's so many different things I wish to experience and to increase my knowledge further and further. I sound like my dad right now. But, he undeniably, encouraged my inquisitive thought of mind. He himself, collected hundreds of books and never hindered his questions or rather his train of thought. He always took an in interest in various unrelated things. Such as, gardening, health, music, business. These little attributes that he held, have not only been instilled in me, but I think within all my siblings. And, it seems the more I seem to grow up, the more kindred aspects I discover within him and I.

The reason I have chosen to write about him when writing 'about me' is purely because he, although no longer present, has made an impact on the way I go about things. Why I yearn to accomplish something in my life, not only for my own well being. But for my parents, my dad, and especially my mum - who has struggled a great deal.

A passion for biology resides within me so I will be writing some things up. Woo. Release all. those splendid endorphins (yay!) and maybe even gain some self-fulfilment out of it. (Yes, I have a philosophical side too.) But, really I am hoping it will help me, in my studies by sharing some knowledge and also because I enjoy talking about my learnt experiences .

So... I'm a fat lump that procrastinates ton the computer. The time spent on the computer, is nothing else but unproductivity taking place. If that's even a word. Is that even a word?  But nonetheless, I'm excited for this blog. What a thrilling adventure it shall be. Well, okay then. Where to start...
