friendship ~

Friendship is essential for the human beings survival, without it a person can’t maintain a happy easy life. Having a friend means giving the time to talk with and see them. Most people would want their friends to be around them whenever they needed them. So that takes up a lot of time and energy from a person’s life, but is it really worth it? I think that friends are worth the time and effort we put together to be with them, they may require a lot of energy, time and effort but at the end it all comes up to satisfying result.

One of the requirements friendship asks for is giving your time and energy to strengthen the relationship. Friendships might need a lot of time given by both sides; moreover, it might concern giving away their family or work time, but they should be careful about how they manage their time in between. To be a good friend the person would need to be with his friends whenever needed, if your friend was feeling down you’ll have to give him your time to try and comfort him and make him feel better. Also, hanging out with friends takes time and energy too and you should be aware of that.

Friendship is a lifetime thing; people can’t live without friends, because it’s the way to happiness and success. Without friends in your life you would feel so uncomfortable and sad. Therefore, I believe that friends are worth the energy and effort we give them. A friend is the key to a better life. By being surrounded by friends life would become more interesting. Making friends isn’t as easy as it looks, friends require giving the time to get to know them, hang out with them and make them feel better whenever they need it. A friend should always feel free to talk to and best friends are the sort of person you would go to and cry out your problems to. So actually, spending your time and energy on friends isn’t a waste of time, it’s really worth it.

To conclude, friends are the most valuable thing in a person’s life, it’s a pearl that we should keep safe and clean. But although it’s nice to have friends it will always need time and effort put together to have a strong happy friendship. I believe that friendship is “ close people who share their good and bad days, have fun together and make each other’s life greater “ , so friendship is worth the energy and time we spend putting together in the relationship.

college roommates essay

College is a new step in every student’s life, life in college isn’t as easy as it seems. Also, choosing the right roommate who their going to share a room with might be a problem, because of all the differences in both of their lifestyles and personalities. Moreover, trying to live and fit with another person in one room might be hard on some students because of the changes in the habits, attitudes and the ways of living. I believe that in order to get along well with college roommates students should meet first to discuss various issues, and they should work on improving their communication skills.

Roommates ought to think of meeting outside the college dwelling because it is important; especially, to discuss some serious issues there going to go through when living together. Firstly, they should make explicit rules for the room so that they could get along better and have something to get back to when they face difficult conflicts, but in order to put these rules they have to be aware of the local laws of the area they live in, because certain contracts may be covered [video1]. Secondly, talk about what’s important in their relationship and what each roommate likes and dislikes; For instance, their eating and studying habits, weather visitors are allowed or not and sharing each other’s items[video1]. Furthermore, they should discuss how they could make their relationship get to the stage where they can count on the other roommate as a family, so that all the bounds in between them are broken and they can easily confide and rely on each other. One more thing they should take in consideration is the room lease, how they’re going to pay it and what they’re going to do if one of them can’t pay it. If they tend to share the bills in between they should have trust and honesty within them.

Communication skills must be improved by the roommates to have a better life in college when living with another student. One good way to start with is trying to develop their conversation to a level where both of them feel comfortable with. For example, having open ended questions and avoiding closed questions, so that the other person feels easy talking with his roommate [video2]. Secondly, they should have active listening so that at the end of the conversation they could summarize what the other person said so he knows you were listening to him, understood what he was saying and can talk back to him whenever he feels like it without feeling shy or embarrassed[video2]. Also, when the other persons talking they shouldn’t make assumptions of what he’s saying and jump to the conclusion because that shows that you’re not interested and he might feel like you don’t appreciate what he’s saying and not consider his thoughts and believes. At last, when your roommate needs the other roommate’s help they shouldn’t give them their back but should stop what they’re doing, face them and make them feel like you want to help them [video2]. In addition, always try to avoid antagonistic sentences when answering back your roommate, that would make you both have less conflicts in between and more respect.

In summary, roommates ought to develop their relationship to the best, so that they wouldn’t face a lot of difficulties in the future when living together. Developing their relationship might mean meeting outside the dwelling to discuss various issues. Also, improving their communication skills is very important. I think that it’s nice to have a roommate and someone to share your college life with, but they should be understandable and respectful.

what am i going to do in the vacation?

In this vacation I will have a lot of excitement hopefully, because I, my family and my cousin’s family are all going together to Syria for 10 days. Some of us are going by plane and some are going by car. Of course I chose to go by car. Because although it’s tiring, it is going to have more exciting things happen and we are going to go through 2 or 3 countries and each will have its own excitement. For me going by car is more fun because a lot of incidents happen and we spend a lot of time together so it’s fun to chat and laugh about a lot of stuff. My uncle has a villa in Syria in a place called “ Hama “ it’s a big villa with a swimming pool, but I don’t think we will be swimming because it’s going to be freezing, the temperature is going to be between 18 and 10 degree. That’s cold comparing to the UAE. We are going to start our trip at 4 am leave to ksa and rest, have lunch then complete our journey to Syria. We’ll be there in 1 day. When we are there, were going to visit traditional shops and museums, also we’ll go to theme parks, and go out have a picnic in the cool weather. Hopefully it’s going to be so fun because we will have our cousins with us.

Dyspraxia essay

Learning disabilities are conditions that last with the person for the rest of their lives. Dyspraxia is one of the most common LD’s in the world. And nearly 6% of children have it and mainly boys [reading]. Dyspraxia is a movement disorder that affects the person’s actions and makes it hard for them to do easy tasks because they can’t really focus or concentrate on what they are doing just like holding scissors it becomes a hard task for some of them although it’s easy for others. Dyspraxia disrupts people’s lives and effects their daily movements, that could be helped by family support and experts help.

Dyspraxia has a lot of effects on the disabled person’s life. For young children it is a really huge problem because they may avoid crawling or rolling over and may not like to do anything that involves motor skills [reading].As a result, which that may affect their future ability to walk, talk and eat properly. Also they would bump into some objects without noticing and they have poor sense of direction [reading]. And when it comes to children who are in school might have a problem developing their social skills and making friends, and they might have coordination problems and that may affect badly in physical classes “sports”, they find it hard to have a conversation with someone so they avoid making conversations and talking to people. Furthermore, to teenagers and adults they might have a difficulty in planning, sending messages, driving, cocking or completing their daily chores.

Dyspraxia can’t be cured [listening] but it could be helped by some treatments. Prevention from childhood is a very good effective way to have. Trying to explain to the disabled person about their disability and making them have a background information about it may help them understand their state and what they’re going through so that might help them to accept what they have and try to improve their selves. In order to help the LD person to move with his life, improve and succeed, they should try and work with speech and physical therapists [reading]. Also, family support has a really big role in their achievement because it builds their self esteem and they could have someone to trust and depend on while they find it difficult to communicate with others.

In conclusion, people with dyspraxia face a lot of difficulties in planning, achieving fine motor skills and sending messages [listening]. On the other hand there are a lot of ways that can help them improve in their lives like going to therapists and asking for exports help. In my opinion, I think that the most important factor is the family support because with having someone beside them that they can rely on and express their feeling to has a great effect on their ability to improve.

[ My uncle's families visit to the UAE ] PINK CARD PARAGRAPH ~

My uncle came to the UAE 30 years ago and the UAE was mostly full of deserts and it didn’t have all the buildings and development that it has now, so he went back and everytime we told him to come, he would say no because he thought it’s still as sandy and old as before. But two years ago he had to come because of my sister’s wedding so he came alone for 4 days. And he was so impressed and liked it a lot. Therefore, He promised to bring his kids and wife the year after, Last year, my uncle john and his wife and two kids [Oliver and Daniel] came to visit the UAE, for the first time, and it was in February; it was really exciting, they came for two weeks. And they stayed with us in our house. We had our grandmother over too. She comes to visit us every year so it was good to have them all here at once. They loved the weather because it wasn’t that hot and wasn’t cold at the same time. My mother arranged for them to go on a lot of activities and places. They visited the emirates palace and had lunch there; they really loved it, because it’s so huge and unique. Also they went to a desert safari in Dubai they went on land cruisers on the sand dunes and the kids rode motorbikes, there were a lot of English tourists there so they really felt like they were at home. One day we all arranged to go to Alain for the day, so I skipped school and went with them, we visited the zoo, Alheely park and “almbzra” it’s a place where its full of green trees and grass next to the mountains it has playgrounds, hot springs and closed swimming pools. So the kids really enjoyed it, my uncle drove us up the mountain and we stopped up there and took pictures it was so cold and windy I could get blown away by the wind. After a couple of days of resting and going to the beach “ where they really enjoy “ we went to “MOE” mall of the emirates, while the older people went shopping, me and my sister took our cousins to the snow park, they played alot. We really had so much fun. So this was a really great experience for them and also for us. It was nice to see them since I haven’t seen the kids for like four years. And hopefully they will come this year too.

what i did yesturday !

I woke up at 10:30 on Monday morning on the sounds of my mother shouting out if I wanted to go out with her because she was leaving. So, I got up, had a shower, got changed and had [French toast with honey] for breakfast. There wasn’t any one home because they were all at school and work so I just sat and listened to my I-pod until my mother was ready to leave. We got in the car and while my mum was driving we were talking about a lot of stuff, and one of them was me wanting to do volunteering work. It’s like helping disabled people and other stuff. Some of my friends started to do those things so I wanted to attend this program that makes us try and help with things like that. And I think that would really help me see the world from another view and at the same time it would make me appreciate the state I am in, and I would do something useful in my life by volunteering to do stuff like that. Our first stop was to the British council because I wanted to apply for the IELTS exam; it’s not that I think am ready for it. But I think that if I have a chance I should take it even if I may not pass. So I’ll try my best to skip level 8 and pass the accuracy exam. After that we stopped by at my mother’s friends house for a cup of tea, she’s sort of my mum’s best friend so it’s just like being in my own house, we talked about a lot of stuff and thinking where to go this weekend, and I was playing with her youngest child because she doesn’t go to school she was home.We left there and went to the cinema to watch a movie “that’s a mother-daughter time”. It means that my mum from time to time she takes each one of us out alone, and we have our own time with her, so it’s kind of fun. You feel like all lights are on you and you’re the important one for the day. I think it’s a good way because sometimes you want to talk about stuff but you don’t find the right time and when you’re alone with her, it’s the best timing to let your feelings out. After that we went home, we had lazania for lunch, actually we only eat rice and other local food when my father is home because he prefers it but at the meantime he’s on a business trip so we have all sorts of different food every day, but rarely Arabic, there mostly English, Italian, Mexican, Chinese….etc. my mum likes to try new sorts of food. Because am a really picky eater so she tries to satisfy us all. And normally after lunch we all gather and chat about a lot of stuff and after that we go to out rooms and do whatever we want. I spend most of my time on my laptop. So actually when I leave my room my mum says “OH! Hamda, you’re alive!! “Ha-ha, that’s because they never see me. But sometimes she gets upset she hates this routine me and my brothers get in. when we sit on our laptops all day and never talk to anyone. What do I do on the internet! I have no idea!! I spend more than 6 or 8 hours a day on the internet but at the end of the day I don’t get any use of it. I just sit and chat on msn with my friends, listen to English music, check the lyrics out, and sometimes I would enter some forums and try to discuss some topics that interest me with other people from around the world. Lately, I have tried this site called e-baby, it’s supposed to be about learning English and making friends, and it has chat rooms and other facilities that would help with English, but guess what! I found it was a mistake it didn’t do me any use. And people there aren’t really into wanting to learn. So I just left! Furthermore, I tried to fix my blog and couldn’t. After sitting on the internet for a long time I went outside in the garden and turned on my brother’s motorbike and I really don’t know how to use it so I ended up crashed in the wall. That’s how I hurt my leg a little. Went back in had a shower, had hot dogs and fries for dinner. Chatted on the phone with my friend and went to bed.




*PS: OMG! this is my longest post in this blog, but i guess because its about me! so i have alot to say lol , hope you enjoyed it ^_^ .
