I prepared, studied and applied, and thank God I was accepted. I see every step I took after graduation as the reason I reached the next one.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"margin:18px auto;text-align:center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bcms.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/grad_dunya.jpg\" alt=\"\u0635\u0648\u0631\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u062e\u0631\u062c\" style=\"max-width:420px;width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Education<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>B.Sc.
