    Ahmed Al-Shugairi , this man has learned me a lot!  A ton of people had judges him for saying the truth, but don’t you get it?  This man is trying to make a point, a goodpoint in this world.  He is trying to change us, why would any one of us blame him? He is showing us the Islam in an amazing way.        Us, the new generation, there's a lot of distractions that are taking us away from Fasting and Praying etc.  But, he's encouraging us to do a lot of wonderful things, things that can help us and help our community.  We have a great ideas, but no one is listening to us.  Mr. Al-Shugairi is showing us how to be ourselves, but without changing our thoughts.  He has a program that is called ''Khawater'',but in English it's Called ''Thoughts''.      Let's say that he's writing his ''Thoughts'' on a newspaper, no one will respond to him.  This generation is very hard.  If you want ...

Have you ever missed a TV series?   Or have you ever read something that says ''That awkward moment when your favorite TV series finishes, and you don't know what to do with your life from that point''?   I know why, that series have taught us something valuable.   Maybe be the idea of the series is stupid to people, but you might find something interesting in it.   You might find the world that you want.     One thing that I have learned from an amazing series is: how to love, and how to fight for your identity.  I'm sure that everyone is watching the series Between Past and Love (Bain Almady wa Alhob).  I just watched the final episode of it in the internet, and I just wanted to cry.  Because Laila taught us how to love, how to discover new things, how to be loyal to people, how to be respectful, and maybe how to be Sherlock Holmes.     Waleed taught us that you can find your lover anywhere in this world.  He...

     Good news people!  I toke the 3rd place in my school’s Spelling Bee Competition!  That’s exciting, that’s amazing, that’s believing that we can.  Two months ago I was refusing the idea of the competition, and now I lived the competition.  We have a lot of fears, one of my biggest fears was spelling a long word correctly.  And now, I… finding words of what I feel right now might be hard, so I’ll just leave it to you to decide.      We had to wait for six hours for our turn.  Because we’re the older ones so we have to wait.  I was really shocked to see the 1st graders spelling words.  They’re really good, those girls are only six or seven years old, and they were spelling words that they didn’t know about before!  I think that they believed a lot in themselves, and they got what they deserved.      My first word was martyr (m-a-r-t-y-r).  I was really thankful for having that word as my...

    ‘’Something has changed within me, something is not the same’’ -Defying Gravity.  Allah, my mother, my teacher, and the World had helped me a lot, and  now its my turn to pay it back to them.       There will be a Spelling Bee Competition at our school in five days.  They’ve told us about it two months ago.  I was really angry about the idea, ‘’Really?  A spelling bee?!’’ I thought in my mind.  Words weren’t really important for me, spelling was nothing for me too.  But… When I saw the movie Akeelah and the Spelling Bee, one month ago, I knew that I can be great at spelling.  I knew that I can love words.  But I was sure that I can win.  If spelling is my biggest fear, then why not make it something that I love?  I can face that fear and win…      Yesterday, something strange happened.  Or let me say it was ‘’ Maktoob ’’ to happen.  I started to have some nightmares toward th...

To my mom. To the woman who worked to raise me for the past 14 years. To the woman who had to dress me up every morning for KG. To the woman who wants me to be the most successful writer in this world. To my lovely mom, I write these words. I don't think that there will be any good words to describe you. Each daughter loves her mom in her own way. But to be honest with you, I've never discovered the way that I have to love you. You have this thing that makes me love you, but sorry... I don't know what's that thing. You try to make me feel special. You believe in me. You don't care if I get bad marks as long as I'm learning. You know that no matter what heppens with me...I'll always be your unique daughter. You tell people that I'm your daughter with some teary eyes. When I was in 7th grade you told me that you wanted to watch me walking on the stage, with an amazing report card on my hands. Those words had a re...

She was right. A couple of weeks ago, someone told me that''Me and my friends are still kids''. I couldn't agree with her, I thought that I'm an adult, and I can make decisions. Well, I have this adult part who is living inside of me. And, I have this kid part who is me. Lately, I thought that the age of 14 is a big number. But, yesterday I was helping my dad with some papers. I toke a look at my passport, and I saw my age, picture, and date of birth. So I thought in my mind ''Why am I bothering myself about being an adult?'' I'm just 14 years old. I can make some small decisions, but, I'm still me. I have a big life waiting for me, am I right? See, I always have a big smile on my face. Even if I'm sad I smile, I keep the anger inside of me by smiling. People die and I smile. A lot of people have told me ''Stop smiling, it's not the time!'' A lot of people have told me ...

      What happens after everyone watches Arab Idol?   Twitter is where they talk, and where they can express what they feel.   People write about 1000 tweet in less than an hour.   They talk, they say bad things, and then they say that Yusuf, and Carmen were great…          Let's talk about how they talk about Ahlam.    There's a HUGE war between Ahlam, and the Youth of the Middle East every Friday, and Saturday night!   They talk about her dress, her makeup, her jewelry, her voice, her husband, her kids, her airplane, her companies, and it got to the point when they talked about her maid!   Ahlam can say some wired things every now and then, but she's still a human…   They started to post some ''bad'' pictures about her.   So I think that they're being very aggressive.   But what can we say?   She has to control herself a little bit, but people won't change!   ...
