Why are students being limited to their grades? Society has accustomed them to set their expectations based on their grades, and uses that to determine whether they're successful or not. In his talk, Abdulla aims to inspire listeners to look beyond grades and GPA, and always to seek experience and knowledge. The power of knowing is more crucial than a high GPA, a letter A or an average of 90%.
Abdulla is a 4th year student in the College of Technological Innovation at Zayed University, Dubai.
