I remember looking up at the night sky and thinking: these are the people who would become my family.<\/p>\n<p>Since then I\u2019ve traveled more, learned more and lived more. I left the UAE many times to study abroad but even from thousands of miles away I never lost the feeling of being a part of the NYUAD family \u2014 mainly because the conversations that started on the top of that sand dune never stopped. They continued in classes, at mealtimes, on long airplane rides, and often over Skype.<\/p>\n<div class='two_third'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>I know that my adventure at NYUAD is coming to an end but it is not the end of the conversation that binds me with the people I met here. We learned how to think and build projects together. We developed a framework of thinking that has prepared us for the world.<\/p>\n<p>I am ready for the start of a new adventure but instead of saying ma\u2019a salama to NYUAD I will say ellal leqa\u2019, which means until we meet again.

The picture has been framed next to my bed since it was taken at an Abu Dhabi hotel in 2003. Intimidated by the thought of leaving my home in Jordan, it stood there as a reminder of the first warm connection I had in Abu Dhabi as a young girl.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last four years, the city has grown warmer to me because of community connections and strong relationships with professors, mentors, classmates and roommates. Looking back on my journey, I\u2019ve become a reflection of the outstanding people I\u2019ve met and the travel stories we\u2019ve written together. We came to the UAE from around the world with different belief systems but we share values of tolerance, respect, and empathy.<\/p>\n<p>NYUAD\u2019s global education has taught me not only how to answer questions, but how to ask the right questions, while valuing the region\u2019s identity, culture and heritage. NYUAD has instilled in me a love of learning and the skills to think for myself \u2013 academically, socially, physically and spiritually.<div class='two_third'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Wherever life takes me, I will frame my memories of NYUAD around that photograph taken 13 years ago. I remember it like it was yesterday: Sheikh Zayed asked if I wanted to live in Abu Dhabi and I answered, \u201cI don\u2019t know, maybe.\u201d Now, as a graduate of NYUAD ready to take on the world, I wish I could go back and change what I said because Abu Dhabi has become my second home.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/p>\n<div class='one_third et_column_last'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"biotext\">Farah Shamout, from Jordan, studied computer engineering.

As a student at NYU Abu Dhabi, my fluency in the language of kindness has grown tremendously through volunteer opportunities on campus and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, when the Philippines was struck by a powerful typhoon, we organized a fundraiser to help communities affected by the storm. We put together a concert in the campus dining hall and left a box at the entrance to collect donations.

It was during Candidate Weekend in February 2011. Unfortunately, the customary trip to the desert was canceled because of a sandstorm. Instead, we converted the multipurpose room of the Downtown Campus into a makeshift desert-camp-like setting with majlises, and danced our hearts out. That night, about 100 students from all over the world became friends and learned new dance steps from each other. The last four years in Abu Dhabi have been a little like that dance: an unpredictable experience that has kept me on my toes.<\/p>\n<p>Four years of cross-continent adventures with nearly 150 classmates has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. Learning from and with so many amazing classmates, exceptional professors, and support staff has been humbling. One of the most important things I will take away from my time at NYUAD is the value of taking chances, whether it\u2019s picking up a difficult academic project or traveling to Egypt with no Arabic language skills. The people here invited me push myself and explore new horizons.<\/p>\n<div class='two_third'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>There is something about this place that words will never be able to describe. But there\u2019s a certain comfort in knowing that no matter where you go from here, an old friend, somewhere in the world, will always have a couch for you to sleep on. I\u2019m proud to be part of such a diverse group of people and I think our collective experience at NYUAD marks the start of a lifelong conversation.\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class='one_third et_column_last'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"biotext\">Abhijai Garg is from India and studied computer science.

He had just completed a scuba diving course that I took as a freshman. After three years, I admitted, I\u2019d forgotten the basic rules of diving. \u201cThey\u2019re pretty easy,\u201d my friend assured, \u201ctry to remember.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I rattled off the ones I could recall: check your equipment, plan ahead, ascend slowly and with control. As I did, it occurred to me that my time at NYU Abu Dhabi has taught me similar rules by which to live and learn: be prepared, execute your plans, take it slow and steady.<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019ve also learned that not all diving analogies apply to life at NYUAD. For some of us, this place wasn\u2019t in the plan. Most of us had no idea what the future would hold. Instead, NYUAD often embodies the joy of spontaneity, prompting students to re-imagine the possibilities and make plans as we go. We\u2019ve been gifted with the surprise of unexpected travel, new passions, and diverse friendships. And yet these experiences are neither frivolous nor fixed.<\/p>\n<p>The university also bends the fundamental rule in scuba diving to always stick with a buddy. An inevitable aspect of being a student here is separation from friends to pursue summer internships, study abroad, or hide away in a room all weekend to complete a project. Even if we sometimes felt lost in these depths, the experiences asked us to grow independently and focus on our own cultivation so that we could flourish into better leaders and better buddies.<\/p>\n<div class='two_third'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Still, NYUAD has fully emphasized the importance of a fundamental yet ultimately transcendental tip that is central to both scuba diving and life \u2014 the one guideline I forgot to mention while catching up with my classmate in September. None of us would have made it through the deadlines, jet lag, athletics matches, provoking conversations, or bouts of passionate laughter without abiding by this essential rule: always breathe.<\/p>\n<p>I am grateful for both the guidelines NYUAD has instilled and those it has encouraged me to break. To all of my buddies leaving NYUAD, I hope you enjoy the water.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class='one_third et_column_last'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"biotext\">Veronica Houk, a New York native, majored in literature with a concentration in art history.

In choosing NYUAD for your undergraduate experience, you embarked on a journey that was both challenging and exhilarating: to help create a new paradigm for higher education in an international city on the rise.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past four years, you have engaged in rigorous academic pursuit enriched by a global context, exemplifying the power of global education to shape leaders for a more informed, productive, just, and cooperative world. You have brought minds together with a new respect for difference and understanding of common purpose.<\/p>\n<p>From all of us at NYU, thank you. You helped transform NYUAD from an idea into a school with a distinctive impact on higher education and on the world. We are proud to count you among the alumni of both NYU and NYU Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section admin_label=&#8221;Section &#8211; Congrats Background&#8221;
