About
Hello, my name is Malak Alshayeb! I am from Dearborn, MI however my roots lie in Palestine. I am majoring in Biopsychology, Cognition, and Neuroscience (BCN) on the pre-med track. I am a part of Epsilon Alpha Sigma Sorority, Inc. I am also an active member of the Arab Student Association. I love to travel and plan on studying abroad Spring 2023. My favorite thing about HSSP is the sense of community and commonality between all members. It is also a great way to build connections and to learn more about the healthcare system/careers.
What is a quote that inspires you, and why?
A quote that inspires me is "Live in the moment" because a lot of the time we find ourselves stressing over the past and worrying about the future and we forget to enjoy the time that we are in now. We can not change the past and the future is out of your control, therefore, we have to live in the moment and enjoy the little things.
Describe a way you implement wellness and taking care of yourself?
A way I like to implement wellness and ensure that I am taking care of myself is by taking a step back. Taking a step back allows me to reflect on where I am at that moment and what I need to grow. This can be anything from taking a break to talk to a friend, going on walks, watching a comfort movie, having a self care night, etc.
