Hello, my name is Shumaila. I live in Laval and I am a student. Two years ago, I was in college, and I have studied health science. When I used to study, I really needed to have some sort of glossary for my field which can help me. So now when I have gone studying I would love to make a glossary that could help many other students. So, in this glossary that I have made, students could find the meaning of the things they studied in class and prepare themselves properly for exams.
