Prof. Fei Sha’s vision is inspiring. If cancer and its progression are predictable and if given a chance, I would love to be a part of the study and bring my best game to live up to the challenge. I am fascinated by the idea of making the lives of people better and that is exactly the kind of life changing research going on at USC. The mere idea of it motivates me to do my best so that I have a chance to be a part of it. Learning from the likes of Fei Sha, Yan Liu, Johanthan Gratch and Viktor Prasanna will enable me to develop aptitude in the areas of my interest and the essential cross domain skills to enhance my research. I also went through the course catalogue on Viterbi’s website and some of the courses that I would love to undertake are CSCI 561 Foundations of Artificial Intelligence, CSCI 541 Foundations and Applications of Data Mining, CSCI 581 Logic and its Applications, CSCI 585 Database Systems, CSCI 556 Introduction to Cryptography while the ones that intrigue me the most are CSCI 564 Brain Theory and Artificial Intelligence, and CSCI 534 Affective Computing.

Similar to other immigrants my family history is somewhat compelling. Starting with my grandfather who was exiled out of Egypt in 1959 primarily as a result of the "decolonization process and the rise of Egyptian nationalism”, my immediate family and I also left France in 2004 as a result of rising tension against Jews.

I see myself being an engaged member of the WCU and Brinson Honors College community by being involved in community service opportunities, becoming a member of leadership organizations, and taking advantage of opportunities to study and serve in a different country or to participate in undergraduate studies. I plan to be engaged in the WCU community by being involved in all that I can be involved in. Specifically, I hope to become involved in at least one of the faith-based groups on campus, such as the Baptist Student Fellowship at WCU or the Campus Crusade for Christ.

Only one person I have ever had an issue with at this location. A Lady named Amy was probably the second rudest customer service person I 've met, and both were in the Hampton Roads area. Our interaction started with her telling me to go back to the front desk before coming to her counter and then it was all down hill from there. Her tone when talking to me was course at all times. She would go onto to make a show of it by stating loudly that maybe I should come back at a later time when I 'm not in such a hurry, and that some people have many things to do and that she is working to help me.
