"As one of the first wave of women medical graduates in Iraq it was not east to convince family and traditionalist to study medicine and travel as far as America to learn about more advanced medicine and treatment
As I returned home ti oractice and start my own family I feel blessed and rewarded for having the dream to become a doctor and serve my people and my country
Nothing can be as rewarding to me as seeing babies who I cared for so many years ago become grown and successful men and women fillowing their dreams as I did"
