My very first day of teaching!

I started teaching, so I am adding a page for my reflections on my experience in teaching, starting from my very first day!

Retrieval of Hope

I wrote this almost 2 years ago, but I still love it. I really forgot about this little thing, 2 years feel like 100 years.

Arts and Crafts Basic Level

I know I am not an artist, but drawing and painting is a thing for me. I'm passionate about it even though I might not be that artistic.

"I start drawing, and eventually the characters involve themselves in a situation. Then in the end, I go back and try to cut out most of the preachment" - Dr. Seuss.

   So, drawing should start somewhere in order for it to become alive. Every skill can be developed, and that is the thing with drawing. I once saw an illustration of an eye drawn by a little kid. It was so simple, as simple as a kid can draw. Then, he worked on himself so hard until he became a very talented artist.
   On the other hand, you might be good at drawing but then you loose it. My older brother, for example,  used to be good at drawing. he drew Bugs-Bunny, Mickey Mouse, and dizzy bees all over the walls of his room. The drawings are perfect! but as he grew up, he couldn't draw that good anymore because his hands shake due to nerves' issue. (Not that big issue, but he can't draw well as he used to).
   So here I start, and maybe, just maybe, I become a decent artist some day.

Teaching is....

This is part of my philosophical statement I wrote for Practicum:

“I touch the future. I teach.” – Christina McAuliffe

    Our students are our future. Each of our students has the potential to bring something unique and special to the world. Teaching is a sacred and honorable career that demands commitment, there is magic in teaching, miracles, healing, laughter, sharing and love every day in the classrooms and that is what attracts the most. A teacher has the opportunity to affect students’ lives in a positive way; this is a huge privilege that shouldn't be taken carelessly.

    Teaching is an amazing thing to do, and I will try to be the best teacher to raise the best students, so teaching is important for both the teacher and the students. As a dedicated teacher, I will attempt to uphold the concepts, techniques, and methods that stand for the student's benefit and ensure that students’ learning needs are the primary focus of attention.

Where the Heart Belongs ❤

I went to Mecca 3 times already. I did 7 Omra's till now alhamdulillah. Every time I go there I feel so attached to the city, and to the Kaaba. I really found myself there! I never thought I would fall in love so hard with something that it would occupy every inch of my body. I forgot myself there and my family and everything I'm attached to except Allah. I felt so close to him, and that is what I always wanted.

I met amazing people from different countries of the world. I talked to them even though we don't speak the same language. We understood ourselves despite that because we spoke with our hearts, not with our tongues. 

I hibernate like bears, but in Mecca I never wanted to blink so I won't miss anything happens around me. 

I was a different Sarah; Sarah in her happiest version. I was so happy and alive and I think I started to miss that feeling. It's not that I am not happy now, I am alhamdulillah but that Sarah was totally different. 

Whatever I say and whatever I write, it won't explain a bit of the feelings and the experiences I had there.

 I'm in love with Mecca, and I'm looking forward to visit it again and again and again❤

Welcome to my Blog

How amazing it is to be able to write your thoughts and feelings down, knowing that others, from different places of the world, will be inspired by them and might change little things in their lives! 

It's amazing that you could find people having similar feelings and are or have been in similar situations. I am so excited to meet new intelligent people who are willing to share what we have, to build what we might not have . 

Love you guys already :*
