ABOUT ME
HI, MY NAME IS JUDE AL-HAMAD. I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN BERLIN, MARYLAND. I AM CURRENTLY A SOPHOMORE AT SALISBURY UNIVERSITY, STUDYING CONFLICT ANALYSIS AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION. MY LATEST ENDEAVOR INCLUDES BEING AN UNITED NATIONS MILLENNIUM FELLOW CLASS OF 2020. AS A HARDWORKING AND DEDICATED STUDENT, I GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL IN THE TOP 10% OF MY CLASS, AND HAVE RECEIVED DEAN’S LIST MY FRESHMAN YEAR OF UNIVERSITY. I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW WAYS TO GROW AND EVEN IF IT BECOMES CHALLENGING, I REMAIN FOCUSED AND DRIVEN TO SUCCEED. MY TRAITS AND SKILLS INSIDE THE CLASSROOM ARE ALSO APPLIED IN MY CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND COMMUNITY. I HAVE BEEN AN ACTIVE VOLUNTEER BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL, AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A LEADER, GUIDING AND HELPING IN ANY WAY I CAN. I WAS A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY AND MU ALPHA THETA WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL, AND AM CURRENTLY A MEMBER OF THE PHI ETA SIGMA HONOR SOCIETY AT SALISBURY UNIVERSITY. FOR MY COMMUNITY SERVICE, I HAVE VOLUNTEERED OVER 450 HOURS WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL WITH ALL KINDS OF CLUBS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND EVENTS. I EVEN ORGANIZED AND STARTED AN ANNUAL COLLECTION DRIVE FOR BELIEVE IN TOMORROW, COLLECTING AROUND $3,500 WORTH OF GOODS DURING MY TIME IN HIGH SCHOOL. I WAS ALSO ONE OF THE FIRST-EVER WINNERS OF THE MATT KURTZ KINDNESS GRANT FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS. THE LOVE FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE I FOUND IN HIGH SCHOOL AND THE LEADERSHIP SKILLS I HAVE ACQUIRED MOTIVATE ME TO FORM A POSITIVE PLATFORM AND INSTILL THE QUALITIES OF A GREAT, GLOBAL CITIZEN. MY HOPE IN LIFE IS TO MAKE AN IMPACT ON THE WORLD AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S LIVES, WHILE HOPEFULLY INSPIRING OTHERS TO DO THE SAME.
