Hello , my name is Ghassan Sulieman Eldie Ibrahim , I am a sudanese from Sudan -khartoum, my age is 27 years old, I want to study Pharmacy as undergraduate (bachelor) , I have a sudanese secondary certificate of 73.9% degrees in biology scientific section and it is documented from our education and foreign ministries , I also have detail certificate of studying uncompleted bachelor program (three years out of five years) in faculty of pharmacy – university of Khartoum and I have a five years valid passport ,I am financially unable student from Dar fur region (Elfashir town) , I don’t intend to complain my misery but I want be clear about my situation that I don’t have money to continue studying in Sudan or studying in USA without a scholarship or a grant or loan , because my father died in 2000 and I don’t have financially able brothers to finance my study expenses , I came to Khartoum to study pharmacy in university of Khartoum ( governmental university) through the general admission, but I found it difficult to continue my study because of lack of money and very poor education environment ( poor labs and teaching , no lab exams or even bachelor graduation researches ) . I suffer also from discrimination against the region that I came from ( Darfur) and from academic stresses from my Faculty teachers which are( exam correction unfairness) because I write essays constructively criticizing our academic problems in our faculty and suggesting solutions and ask generally our administration and our teachers to help us solve them , but they personalized the issues which led to intentionally failing me in exam results despite my excellent performance in exams which affected my academic progress and caused overwhelming psychological stress for me . I thik that I can’t continue in environment like this , I think also I will be an excellent researcher if I studied in USA because of the best quality of education in the world and the research encouraging environment . I got the academic distinction transfer to faculty of Pharmacy in University of Khartoum from the faculty of Forestry in the same University after I got the highest degrees when I sat for the Pharmacy faculty admission exam with the out standing students from other faculties in the university of Khartoum. I want to be a microbiology researcher in the future to help developing cancer and AIDS drugs and also the resistant mutant pathogen drugs .I work hard every day to find a full scholarship to study pharmacy bachelor program as freshman or transfer student to pursue after that my dreams of research to help other people in the world. I hope that you help me . .Thank you.
Would you please reply to me , my personal mobile phone is : 249 0122060638.you can e-mail me also .
