I believe Sumaiya is an amazing advisor. She always was the type of person who went out of her way to make sure you were on the right track. She always seemed to work overtime, and always assured you she was there to help and that it was no bother at all. I never felt that she was pushing me in to do something I didn’t want to; everything that she researched for me was about what I wanted to do as my major. I think what I liked most about Sumaiya as an advisor is that she honestly believed in me. I sometimes felt that I wasn’t good enough and that I wouldn’t be able to go on but she had so much faith in me that I grew to have faith in myself. I learned to be confident and believe in myself even when times got hard thanks to Sumaiya and I honestly never knew how to thank her for that.
