\\nMemorable Quote: \\u201cAnd I also think there\'s value in exploring things outside of your field. A lot of my study abroad, were simply focused on language learning, you know, really trying to strengthen my Arabic, even though my primary majors, you know, medical sciences, really taking a step back and looking at the humanitarian side of healthcare by studying philosophy, you know, there are a lot of ethical questions that come within life, how can we answer those or even psychology, looking at the importance of mental health.\\u201d Adam Elzarka.
