She aspired to be part of the solution and to achieve healing or provide support. After her cousin’s passing, she maintained her motivation to help others; however, she did not achieve the required grades to enroll in medical school. Fate led her instead to Chemical Engineering and Fuel and Energy Engineering Technologies. Although she did not initially like the field, she decided to make her father’s happiness her greatest goal. From her first academic year, she worked diligently and ranked among the top students each year, maintaining excellence until graduation. Her father was immensely proud of her success, and she became a living example of determination, commitment, and achievement despite challenges. Today, Al-Mustaqbal University embraces Engineer Tabarak Mohsen as a distinguished assistant in the Department of Fuel and Energy. She continues to demonstrate her scientific and practical capabilities, serving as a role model for new female students in the department and across the university. This activity comes within the efforts of the department and the Women’s Affairs Unit to highlight success stories, promote ambition and perseverance among students, and reinforce the role of women in achieving scientific and practical accomplishments, in alignment with the Ministry of Higher Education’s direction toward women’s empowerment and active participation in the academic community.
