[NYU Abu Dhabi - SMSP @NYUADSMSP]

1/2 "Graduating from NYU's Class of 2020 is an accomplishment by itself. Indeed, this time was exactly what I needed to gain clarity on the path I want to pursue..

[NYU Abu Dhabi - SMSP @NYUADSMSP]

"Taking time for self-reflection and focusing on health and prayers was very healing for both my mind and soul. I didn’t realize I needed that! Moreover, I got to enjoy cooking and reading while working remotely." - Salma Abubakar, Class of 2017-2018

[NYU Abu Dhabi - SMSP @NYUADSMSP]

[NYU Abu Dhabi - SMSP @NYUADSMSP]

3/3 .. I do owe a lot to SMSP and Dr. Keith Bradshaw (may he rest in peace) as they made me realise that nothing is impossible and everything that is hard ends up being the most worth it.
Thank you for the life lesson." - Nahla Alsayed, Class of 2009-2010

[NYU Abu Dhabi - SMSP @NYUADSMSP]

1/3 "The beginning of this year has been tough, but I can only reflect on all of the positive and happy things I have gained from it. As a full time employee and PhD student, being able to stay home and reconnect with my daughters has been priceless ..

[NYU Abu Dhabi - SMSP @NYUADSMSP]

2/3 ... I have also been able to finally follow my dream and passion by working with an amazing team in the education domain and learning from wonderful professors ..

2/2 “.. – indeed this quarantine period was emotionally and physically straining for most of us, but on the bright side we had so much quality time with whom or what truly matters." - Saba Najeeb, class of 2009-2010

[NYU Abu Dhabi - SMSP @NYUADSMSP]

1/2 "Sometimes you need to take a break from all the hassles of life and analyze it from a distance, in order to understand the core value of our existence and what truly matters. In the Quran it says twice together “verily with every hardship comes ease” ..

3/3 “.. With the pace of pre-COVID life, I did not take as much time to reflect on the things that brought me joy, which I mostly looked for somewhere else, other than my own home." - Mahaba Alsaleh, Class of 2009-2010

[NYU Abu Dhabi - SMSP @NYUADSMSP]

1/3 "Self-quarantine turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Instead of looking for opportunities for enjoyment outside my home, many of which involved some form of consumption, I learned how to carve out time and space for enjoyment at home in simple ways..”

[NYU Abu Dhabi - SMSP @NYUADSMSP]

2/3 “.. I started cooking more often, meditating, working out along with online videos, and setting aside time for socializing using video calling platforms..”
