Dear MMSA members,
My Motivation:3 years. 3 years of my journey as an international medical student I wasn’t
involved. I, as a foreigner, felt like I was not a focus of MMSA. I knew that if I
get involved, ill be treated like an outcast, not wanted by the Board of Directors
or the whole MMSA body. But after those 4 years, I said to myself (why don't
you give it a chance?, I mean you wouldn’t know unless you try). You know
what? Never in my whole life I was that wrong. I was welcomed with open
arms. I was fitting in. there’s no difference between a local member and a
foreigner. And if it wasn't for that, I wouldn’t have went through this
spectacular journey in this lovely organisation.
The MMSA gave to me a lot. It created so many opportunities to me. I
discovered my passion as a trainer thanks to it. I learnt how to organise a huge
event thanks to it. I got to know a lot of people thanks to it… I know I’m being
repetitive here, but I cannot emphasise more on how much it gave to me. So I
hold it very near and dear to my heart.
It is part of my personality to give back as much as I can to those who gave me
a lot. and by that I announce my candidacy for the post of Supervising Council
without previous experience 2015-2016. I want to give back whatever I can to
this lovely organisation. And what’s better than giving back with the best thing I
can do.
I am an impartial, dedicated, and trustworthy. I see matters objectively and
never take matters personally if it’s related to work. Also, I used to be a member
in AIESEC, where I learnt the basic skills on how the student organisations
function. Also, I worked with the OC of the Kuwaiti National Day for 2
consecutive years; where I did administrative work.
I am not saying that to just add a paragraph; I want to emphasise on my
experiences from different perspectives. Having a great idea how the
organisation and administration function.
So this is my motivation, if you have any questions ill be more than happy to
answer them.
Ahmad Almass.

work for the organisation’s best of interest.
2)To ensure that the BD and EB are abiding to the bylaws

as a member of the Supervising Council, I believe it is my duty to be involved
with the OC and check their administrative, financial, and logistical work.
5)Elaborating more on the 4th point, to work on the Internal Operating
Guidelines for the upcoming General Assembly; regulating the relationship

elaborating on the importance of the EB and the Supervising Council role in
