I am originally from Oman, and moving to Utah has been an exciting experience that has helped me grow both academically and personally. One thing that defines my time at the University of Utah is curiosity. I enjoy exploring new ideas, meeting new people, and trying experiences outside my comfort zone. This curiosity led me to work campus jobs and learn new skills such as photography, graphic design, and woodworking. These experiences helped me grow, gain new perspectives, and discover new interests. They showed me that growth often comes from being open to what is unfamiliar.<\/p>\n<p><em>Advice to my peers: Remember that time goes by faster than you think. Try everything while you are here, explore different opportunities, find your hobbies, and step outside your comfort zone. Do what you truly want to do and make the most of your time before it passes.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:33.333333333333%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:5.76%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.84%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"text-align:right;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-1 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Imran Al Sabbagh\" title=\"Imran-Al-Sabbagh-200&#215;300\" src=\"https:\/\/eccles-wpmedia.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/programs\/undergraduate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Imran-Al-Sabbagh-200x300-1.png\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-59374\"\/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\" style=\"--awb-text-transform:none;\"><h2 class=\"content-box-heading\" style=\"font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 30px; text-align: right;\" data-inline-fontsize=\"true\" data-inline-lineheight=\"true\" data-fontsize=\"18\" data-lineheight=\"30\">\u201cBeing yourself is more than enough; people will appreciate your authenticity and openness.\u201d<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Country of Origin: <\/strong>Oman<br \/>\n<strong>Degree:<\/strong> Finance<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI am originally from Oman, and moving to Utah&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":59374,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[979],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international-student-newsletter"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
