First Interview in the Grownups Life.

The first official interview is the most scary part of the grownups world. Today I went through one of the most interesting experiences in my life, today I did my first official interview. I didn't know what to say, or how to act, but, I also felt relaxed in the same time. I wanted to have some confidence, I wanted to make a good first impression, I wanted to stop shaking, and I just wanted to show them my real personality at the same time.

I realized that being scared can help a lot, because when you're scared you would want to tell them everything about you. You want them to feel amazed, you want to draw a smile on their faces, and you want to be accepted. Extra confidence can harm a little bit, but in interviews everything counts. The way you sit, the way you move your hands, the way you talk, and maybe the way you breathe.

Smiling is a great weapon to win your interview battle. When you smile you hide the scared expressions. When you smile you show them that you have confidence. When you smile you show them that you're not scared, nor you're shaking. Plus, smiling makes you look beautiful, so smile please.

As a person who just had her first interview, I am not sure if I'm allowed to give you some tips, but I don't think that I can resist. I told them that I want to change not only community, but I want to change my whole country. When I said that, the women smiled, I think that she liked what I said. I also saw girls who were confident, strong, and ready to answer any questions. I saw girls who were ready to challenge themselves and try something new.

This interview has showed us all that we can despite the fear, it taught us something small about the grownups life. I'm happy that we've had a chance to go through this experience, because for the first time ever we wanted to promote ourselves to the others, and I think that you succeeded that.

Two Days With Dad يومان مع والدي

*This blog post was written only two days before my dear father's accident -may he rests in peace-. *هذا المقال كُتب يومان فقط قبل وفاة والدي الحبيب رحمه الله Tears may express both happiness and sadness. A shaking voice can describe either fear or sorrow. A shivering body can describe all of the mentioned above. But what if, only if at one point in life, all of these emotions combine together to crash the human's body? What if our emotions can break our hearts in a second, then build them back again in the next? الدموع قد تعبر عن كلا السعادة و الحزن. الصوت المكسور قد يعبر عن الخوف و الأسى. الجسم المرتعش قد يعبر عن جميع ما ذكر بالأعلى. و لكن ماذا إذا، فقط إذا في وقفة معينة في الحياة، كل هذه المشاعر تجتمع سوياً لتكسر جسد الإنسان؟ ماذا إذا كانت مشاعرنا قادرة على كسر قلوبنا في لحظة، و إعادة بنائها في الثانية التي تليها؟ Goodbyes are meant to happen to everyone. As I grow up, I realize how hard they can be depending on whom I'm saying goodbye to....

Hoping before McDowell's School Board

Not every exchange experience is the same, simply because every student is different, and every place is different too. Comparing an experience to another is a huge mistake, yet looking at each one individually triggers curiosity to those who are not part of it to know more. Not every day is rainbows and sunshine, but surly not every other day is clouds and rain. One bad day shall never ruin a year long experience, and one good day will create memories that will spring in the happiness of many other days to come. My day today was one of a kind. A day that shall keep me motivated for a good period of time. It's a day that I can smile at and tell myself that I actually invested my time in the project of my successful ways of living. I'll never be the wise person who advises people with powerful talks. I'll never be the big boss who's in charge. Instead, or at least for now, I am going to live for the present and do my best in influencing a change in this communit...

"Glocal" at the United Nations Youth Assembly

Those who dream, will definitely achieve. The efforts we put into chasing our goals will be recognized. Our faith in God, and those long nights praying with so much hope in our hearts. The taste of accomplishment, that happiness, the laughter, oh and those tears of pure joy. Standing up for the right, and fighting for the good. We were all born great, but at the end of the day, it is up to us to realize that greatness and use it proactively. Nobody’s better than the other, we are made different so we can come together and join those differences together for our own good. If we’re the same, then competing will never get us anywhere, because “team work makes the dream work” according to a great wise friend of mine. Working hand by hand to reach the finish line will get us further and further in life. This past week, I had the honor to be the Saudi Delegate to the United Nations Youth Assembly, and this is the story of how this week t...
