Happy New Year...!


     It’s the first page of this new mysterious book.  We shall read it and live it, we shall enjoy it, and we shall love it.  We’re in the beginning of a new journey, we're in the start of our big race that we shall win.  We’ve written our new resolutions wishing to mark a check beside each one.  We’ve said goodbye to last year’s mistakes, and welcomed the new ones with opened arms, knowing that we will for sure learn something good from them.  
     We’ve set a line for our life, we’ve dreamed of a better year, we’ve spread the love amongst those whom we love.  The first pages are starting to be interesting, we’ve done so much in only three days, we’ve studied for our finals, we laughed from our hearts over stupid and important subjects.  
    2012 was one of my best years, actually, I believe that the whole world had a blast living that year!  Some countries have elected new presidents.  Some nations are still fighting for their rights.  Some people laughed, and ignored the sound of the bombs above their heads.  Some people got married and started a new life.  Some people graduated and started their adulthood.  We lost some people, but God replaced them with kids who are growing into successful people.  We met legends, who taught us that nothing is impossible.  We had dreams that turned into that reality.  We proved to ourselves that we’re strong, and now when I look back, I feel satisfied for every moment in that ‘’super awesome’’ year.  
     We have the future, we have the present, we have tomorrow, we have next week, and the next one hundred years.  Words will not describe how happy I am to see us getting better.  In 2012, I saw the youth trying to help.  I saw the adults trying to fix their mistakes.  I saw the parents trying to be better idols for their children.  I saw students trying to make their parents proud. 
      I think that we are all ready for 2013, we’re ready to read and live and enjoy and love a new book.  We will end the twelve chapters with an accomplishment, okay?  We will do our best to be the best.  We will be kind.  We will forget about money and focus on the happiness of giving and sharing.  We will stop judging.  We will love those true friends who will always be there for us.  We will love ourselves... Happy New Year everybody!

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...
