With pride and honor, I stand before you today, Dana Adnan Al-Maghribi, from the College of Postgraduate Studies, at a moment that carries many meanings and memories we all cherish, and it is an honor for me to represent my fellow female and male graduates.
Today, we celebrate not just degrees, but stories written with patience and persistence.
My story with this university began in 2005, as a Bachelor’s student at the College of Pharmacy, living in the university housing, and walking its halls, carrying dreams bigger than my age.
She added: After a journey of education and perseverance, I graduated for the first time from this prestigious university in 2009, then life took me far away, years of challenges and disconnection, but this university remained in my heart. And I joined the caravan of wishes to make what I dreamt a reality, so in 2023, I returned to Amman Al-Ahliyya University as a Master’s student in Pharmaceutical Sciences, tired, but more mature and determined.
I faced many difficulties, but I found what is more valuable: professors who still believe in the student and support him as if he never left.
And here I realized that the university is not just buildings, but people who make a difference in the lives of their students.
Then she addressed her fellow graduates: Do not fear long roads, nor stopping and then returning. Sometimes, returning is the strongest type of success. Today, I graduate for the second time from this university, but this time with a heart that knows the meaning of patience, and a spirit that knows that dreams do not end with delay.
And at the end of her speech, she thanked the university and the professors, and congratulated herself and her fellow graduates.
