Meet Jamal, a compassionate third-year Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. Raised in a tight-knit community, he experienced his share of challenges on his academic journey, but he believes that resilience and self-reflection are key to growth. As a peer mentor in the Engineering Society, Jamal often shares his insights with younger students to remind them that setbacks are just stepping stones to success. When he's not studying or helping others, he enjoys playing basketball and volunteering at local youth programs, where he encourages young people to embrace their failures as learning opportunities.
