“Curiosity in my mind, discipline in my body, and service in my heart.”
My name is Salma Mohammed Altamimi, and I am a Grade 11 International Baccalaureate student at Abu Dhabi International School – Academic Track.
I have a strong passion for science, particularly biology, and I aspire to pursue a future in medicine or in a field that combines healthcare with artificial intelligence. I am especially interested in how emerging technologies can improve diagnosis, treatment, and patient care.
I was born in Jordan and raised in the United Arab Emirates, an environment that has played a significant role in shaping my character. Growing up in such a diverse and forward thinking country has strengthened my curiosity, ambition, and ability to adapt to different perspectives and cultures.
Throughout my academic journey, I have consistently aimed for excellence. I have been recognized as a Distinction Student and have received awards for Outstanding Academic Attainment and AIS Learner Excellence.

I have always enjoyed learning and challenging myself academically. Science has been my strongest interest, particularly biology, where I am fascinated by how living systems function and how scientific discoveries can improve human health.
Through the IB program, I am building a strong scientific foundation that will prepare me to pursue my future goal of studying medicine or a scientific field that combines healthcare and artificial intelligence.

I believe leadership includes the ability to communicate ideas clearly, listen to different perspectives, and collaborate with others. In Fall 2025, I successfully completed the Youth Leadership Network Certificate at NYU Abu Dhabi, where I strengthened my leadership and communication skills while working with students from diverse backgrounds.
Since childhood, I have explored a wide range of activities that have helped me develop both discipline and creativity.
My journey began with several activities including:
I also trained in Karate, which helped me develop discipline, focus, and perseverance.
Art has always been an important hobby in my life. I enjoy expressing creativity through artistic activities and exploring different forms of visual expression.
I have also participated in school drama performances and artistic school events, which helped me develop confidence, creativity, and stage presence while collaborating with my peers.

One of my earliest initiatives began when I was only nine years old, when I organized my first charity book fair at home. I invited friends and neighbors to participate, and we collected and sold books to raise funds for charity. All the proceeds were donated to support community initiatives. This experience taught me the value of initiative, generosity, and helping others.
These experiences have helped me develop empathy, responsibility, and a commitment to contributing positively to my community.
I am particularly interested in how emerging technologies can support medical research, diagnosis, and patient care. I hope to contribute to innovations that improve healthcare systems and enhance the quality of life for people around the world.
I believe that curiosity, discipline, leadership, and compassion are essential qualities for creating meaningful impact in science and society.
