The School of Athens is a famous painting by the Italian artist Raphael. It gathers some of the greatest minds of the ancient world, including Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates, among others.
In the beginning, it is fair to say that everything was just a coincidence or fairly a bunch of them, each one or two of us met another in different situations and in different parts of the world, during times of travel or voluntary work, although we have a history of high school mates among us the least common place we shared or met in college. But soon enough we were all gathered and our friendship bond matured.

Even though we always took different courses from each other in college, but we always enjoyed studying together, maybe just in final exams or studying different topics in the same space just to make a bunch of new jokes.
Haider was a Diver, he dives into a bunch of lectures and papers, disappears for a long time and goes out red-eyed and sleep deprived
Yousif is a gentleman, he doesn’t say No, he would agree with any thing piece of information you tell by a long (Ahaa!) and a hand gesture, maybe he just doesn’t care enough.
Ali and Ebrahim go along together in studying, and they surprisingly share the same method and interest, not as soon as they start arguing over a word and it then takes forever, especially of Ebrahim is wearing his glasses and they are halfway down his nose, you would then hear them both yelling or making fun of each other and this takes forever.

‘’Golden eagle’’ feather, the national animal of Iraq. To merge between greek and national cues.
Yousif reflects on his observation, the miraculous effort spent to convert enormous amounts of data into one line in a textbook that medical students study.
Here we can see p-value <0.5 which indicates a significant value in research.
Referring to both Yousif and Ahmed's ideas, here we can find the ancient efforts to harvest and turn olive leaves into a crown while children are passionately trying to learn so knowledge is transferred
Achilles is medicating his friend Patroklos, wounded by an enemy arrow.
Achilles was secure from any injuries except for his heel, here comes the naming of the wellknown tendon '' Achilles tendon''
