KUWAIT, Jan 21 (KUNA) -- The Kuwaiti national Saad Al-Tami suffered from ADHD symptoms and stuttering since childhood but with the years he succeeded in rising up to the challenge and his efforts peaked with his address to the graduates ceremony Eliott School of International Affairs George Washington University.
Much of the credit go to his parents and teachers who have never given up, supporting Saad with all possible resources and morale to pursue his life regularly and attain studies, like his peers in classes.
Saad's mother works as a social instructor and his father, holder of a PhD in educational management, was a member of the National Assembly (parliament) and head of the parliamentary committee for internal and defense affairs.
His teachers in the intermediate level sensed his brightness, but they complained of his recurring hyperactivity. A single teacher, Nora Al-Mraikhi Al-Qahtani, dedicated much efforts to help him overcome the difficulty. Sensing the need for encouraging Saad, who suffered from Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a neurodevelopmental disorder, named him master of the school ceremonies, despite opposition from the administration. With her backing, he succeeded in addressing the crowds several times.
Moreover, Saad took the initiative to partake in programs in the school radio station, and later in the television children program.
It was not until 2018 that Saad realized that he was suffering from ADHD when a specialist examined him after suffering from sleeping disorders during his academic studies at Toledo University in Ohio -- although his parents had learnt about his condition a long time ago.
The doctor had prescribed medicines for Saad however he opted to count on his will and senses, regularizing his tasks and coping with others as required. His efforts were fruitful, graduating from the university with a BA in administrative sciences with a Beta Gamma mark, dedicated for only ten percent of excellent students of this specialty at the global level.
He proceeded to George Washington University to attain a Master's degree in political sciences.
Having made all these accomplishments, he addressed the graduation ceremony, drawing applause from various quarters and setting an example to follow for all people of special needs. (end) mab.rk
