Momentus Occasion

A momentus occasion to me i would say is the graduation. graduating from highschool is a big step in life and its the time to most people when responsability starts. graduating will really make me happy because i will finally be able to go live on my own and experience the life any people talk about (college life). Its going to be fun and unforgettable. graduation will be a memory that i will never forget and a memory i would pass down to my next generation. I will be very nervous because i will be walking towards the stage and there are going to be alot of people staring at me and im afraid of embarassing myself from the simplist mistake and it would be very embarassing if i trip especially if i take my partner dwn with me. im glad how this school is going to prepare us for it so i wont have to be as nervous as i could be. i was looking towards this day as far back as elementary and nw the time is just a month away. being able to graduate and goto college is a very big opportunity for me to start a new life with alot more responsabilities. here in kuwait i have my parents to tell me to study when im not which keeps my grades up and holds me back from failing but next year i wont have anyone telling me to study which will be a problem that i will have to overcome.

Life at a University

I have thought about how university would be like and it isnt an easy thing for me to think of since i havent ever experienced that life. from what ive heard from friends and parents, some said it was fun and lots of parties while some said it wasnt easy and lots of studying. i think im going to try to balance out my studies and social life which would be harder for me since ill be staying with my brother. it seems to me that it's going to be more fun then depressing because studying shouldnt take more then a few hours a night unless there would be a test or project i need to study for. the first year would be hard since i wont have anyone to take care of me or wake me up in the mornings for school and there is going to be alot of responibility. another thing that will make it hard is leaving all your friends and moving into a new place where you are a stranger to everyone and everyone is a stranger to you. i was thinking about staying in kuwait for the first year to make things easier but when i really thought about it, it wouldnt have made a difference at all. the college im going to, my brother and I are the only arabs there which makes me feel out of place.

Bacon, Beans, and Peace

your culture is unique to you and you wouldnt think about all the other cultures the same. when you goto another culture you try to find a little peice of yours somewhere inside it and you look for the people who come from your culture. for university I am going to the U.S. but i would rather stay here in kuwait because for me there truely isnt a place like it but i will still go for the better education and the freedom i would get there away from my parents and just living alone. living in anoher culture would be hard to get used to at the start but i will have my brother there which will make me feel better because he comes from the same culture. alot of people like to isolate thereselves from other cultures like the americans i met this summer who asked me ridiculous questions about kuwait as if we didnt have any technology or anything. one question he asked me was do you know what a playstation 2 is? and i wasnt very surprised that he asked that because most of the people there get the same visual about Kuwait and other arab cultures, also most didnt know where Kuwait was and i had to tell them it was the country below Iraq which they knew. One person thought kuwait was a little town in there state which really surprised me.

My writing

My writing isnt that good but it is mine because of the way i write it. I write in a way so that i wont stop writing and i would get everything on the paper without stopping to think. i like to describe things because it takes up space but it also gives the audience an image to clearafy what is read. other than describing i also to get into detail which might be a problem to some readers because it bores them. when i write in detail i mean like i explain what is going on in the writing. this is a problem because my writing is simple and understanding and when i write into detail it just explains to the person what they already understand. i like to start off with some words that will excite the reader so that they would keep reading it and not fall asleep while reading it.
