Racism(reflaction 3)

Racism is spread in the world in different shapes from a long time, for myself I had felt that feeling and lived it. scenes I was a kid I have traveled so much in Ireland and the US because of my father studying, my father was very strict in his religion he had a kind of a large beard which is a something most American heat he sometimes had trouble in the university because of it his teacher he heated him because of his beard and sometimes he told my father that you want enter the class until you shave it but my father ignored him .before three years there was a meeting for Boston university in Dubai and I went with my father and he so the same teacher and I so how he respected my father now that’s because my father didn’t change because teacher wanted but he kept the same as he is and I think the doctor knew not to judge people the way they look. another experiment was when I was in Boston me and my father used to go to the masjid and sometimes my father used to where a kandora and one day we were walking to the masjid and there were people calling my father names but I saw my father  just not paying attention to them and when we were heading back home I asked my father why didn’t you do anything about them he told me that god says in the holy Quran “and when the foolish address them (with bad words) they reply back with mild words of gentleness”. this is my experiment in racism in general and now I know why we should treat all people the same.

What does it mean to be an Emirati (reflaction 1)

In 1972 a man called Zayed built a country and changed it from desert to a heaven by hard work and good thinking people came and joined him for more successes and they are now known as Emiratis. What does it mean to be an Emirati? Will if you ask me I believe that to be an Emirati means to be respected where ever you are it means living in peace and culm it means sleeping whit out wires it means that you won’t sleep and you’re hungry and means having kind leaders it also means that your health and life are in safe hands, studying for free, marrying for free, your future is clear your path is strait and your dreams are easy to reach. it means a lot to be an Emirati and we must be grateful for it and pay it back by working more and develop it more, thank god that I am an Emirati.
