Zainab Momin
Student and Engineer in Athens
Hello!! My name is Zainab. One extremely important part of who I am is my family. I was born into a big family that could not function without one another. My cousins and I have had houses next to each other our entire lives. We grew up together like siblings, and anytime one of us is away, it feels like a piece of our puzzle is missing. They have taught me everything I know: how to be resilient, kind, hardworking, and honest. We celebrate every milestone together, and we pick each other up after any setback. As one of the youngest, I have learned countless life lessons simply by watching them grow and following their examples. In moments when I am unsure of the right choice, I am lucky to have people who help guide me and remind me of my values. I am incredibly grateful to have such a close relationship with my cousins and hope to carry on this tradition of love and support in everything I do. As we have all gotten older, some have gotten married, some have gone off to college, and some are out exploring, but when all is said and done, we know that a part of home will always be with each other, no matter where life takes us.
