Drugs

It starts in many different ways: Some people do it for fun to enjoy the moment; some people do it to run away from stressful situations or while looking for a substitute for something difficult in their life or even out of boredom.

They think they are stronger than drugs and they can stop it whenever they want. Most of the addicts start with pain killers or controlled substance, and they jump from medications to more serious stuff as heroine and cocaine. Nowadays in Lebanon we are facing a serious problem because people can get these controlled substances without prescriptions which makes it easy for people who are vulnerable to addiction. However, despite all the ways it starts with, usually the destination is always the same. it's effects on life can be detrimental: it can range from addiction to death hile passing through a wide variability of scenarios.
For the addicts, sometimes death would be easy than having a stroke and ending up in a vegetative state, living on a breathing machine and a feeding tube through his stomach. This is definitely not the joy the addict was looking for when he got himself on this road!
Lucky is the addict who dies rather than going throughout all that suffering.

An Experience to Remember

It all started in the practicum course when I had to attend a classroom for 40 sessions. I spent good times with grade 7 students of Al Tabari section, and I got the chance to know each one of them which created a positive relationship between us.
They were lovely and interactive; they interacted with me as if I was their teacher since the beginning of the year which made me burst into happiness! After attending 30 sessions, I taught for the first time of my life... It was a dream coming true. I spent the night before planning and preparing my material and the activities related to the lesson that was entitled "Frindle". On the next day, even though my hands were trembling I didn't care and I was so excited for my mission! I prepared the board and got the students seated and fully attentive, ready to be engaged in the new lesson, and that's where my journey began. I was astonished with the students' interaction; they were participating and willing to share their answers with me, and even if they got it wrong they were okay with it and raised their finger over and over .... They just wanted to participate, and that was my best reward!
After I finished explaining and made sure that everyone enjoyed the lesson, I was so happy that my first mission was accomplished! Then I got myself ready for the next lesson "Across the Wide Dark Sea" and decided to make it even better than the first one...
Having the opportunity to observe and teach these sweet students was the best thing that ever happened to me! It was worth it.. It was an experience to remember. <3

Love ....

From a young age I wanted to become a teacher however love wasn't something that I planned on, at least for now but life is full of surprises!

Love doesn't wait to knock on your door.. I couldn't take my eyes away of that handsome guy; my heart started fluttering the moment I saw him. Days passed and each day I was sure that he's the one.. He's my prince charming and the love of my life. My emotions for him grew everyday,
Love is the greatest feeling one could ever experience.. Never underestimate the power of love because it is able to change and reshape your world.. It can blow your mind.
Nobody knows his fate. You should have faith and believe that everything happens for a reason and every person crosses your life to reveal something that you weren't aware of.

A Teacher?

When I decided to become an English teacher I was so excited and when people asked me about my major I answered proudly;" A teacher.", but I was surprised with their reaction, "A teacher?!?! Why didn't you choose business or pharmacy or biochemistry? Why a teacher?".

Unfortunately, teaching is looked at as an inferior job where in fact the teacher is the one who helps the architect and the doctor to reach their goals in life. In other words, there wouldn't be a doctor without a teacher so teachers should be appreciated more than that.
As teachers of new generations, we should show our students and all people around that teaching i one the best jobs one could ever have.. You get the chance to know many people and experience lovely moments. Being a teacher is not an easy job, it needs a real big heart to shape little minds.
Yes.. I am a teacher, and I'm proud of it.
