Al Shaibani

In first year, I took one course that had microbiology topics and found out I love viruses and bacteria. So I switched to major in microbiology and immunology. Then in second year I took electives in English Literature and found that I absolutely loved the classes, the books, and the students so I added English Literature as a second major!
