In my public health courses, professors emphasized that health is influenced by more than just medical care and that there is value in a holistic approach that considers the social determinants of health. Even the model that we used to simplify the quantum mechanics underlying these particles felt surprisingly complex and nuanced. From my very first semester of college, in my introductory chemistry course, Professor Matthew Zimmt stressed that definitive statements could not even be made about subatomic particles.

The idea that things are more complex than they appear is one that was ingrained throughout my journey at Brown. My introduction would reveal that who I am is quite different from what your assumptions may lead you to believe. You would learn that I am an aspiring physician who developed an understanding of the value of service from the sacrifices my parents continually make, whether for my siblings and me or for their patients. You would learn that I am a visual person who color-codes my notes and pays special attention to matching the colors in my outfits. If you asked me to introduce myself, you would learn that I am an avid science-fiction/fantasy fan who has watched “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy many more times than my siblings have liked. My intersectional identities are attached to many stereotypes, so icebreakers give me the opportunity to introduce myself instead of having people rely on a sphere of false assumptions. I know this from experience as a Muslim-American woman.
