I'm a caring individual who lost my beloved people including the girl i grew up with as my future wife to save the lives of other innocent people. ever since the uprising started in Palestine, I was 15 years old when i volunteered as the leader of the emergency medical group in Palestine. before i turned 18 I had lost more than 20 classmates, emergency team members and close people what made me care more for the feelings, safety and emotions of others so they don't suffer as i did, and they don't grow more hatred in their hearts as a result of their suffering.
Current Whereabouts:
Humanitarian work, world peace, the return of my people to Palestine, Religious and cultural Coexistence, helping orphans overcome their trauma of losing their parents. and Horseback riding.
Life & Professional Aspirations:
my life and professional Aspirations are considered to be the reason why i'm doing the degree i'm in right now. the reason why i'm studying psychology to help people with war traumas especially children who suffered from the bitterness of war. i have many other aspirations but the most important ones are helping orphans of wars
MY FUTURE PLAN IS TO OPEN AN ORPHANAGE AND HELP ORPHANS OF WARS TO OVERCOME THEIR PROBLEMS AND DIFFICULTIES AFTER LOSING ONE OR TWO OF THEIR PARENTS IN THE WARS HAPPENING AROUND THE WORLD. BY DOING SO, THOSE CHILDREN DOESN'T GROW UP AS HATING ADULTS WHO WANT TO REVENGE BY CREATING THEIR OWN MILITANTS OR GORILLAS THAT WILL CREATE ANOTHER POINT OF SENSITIVITY AROUND THE WORLD.
Most Memorable Moment:
I WAS HOPING THAT MY "MOST MEMORABLE COLLEGE MOMENTS" WAS A POSITIVE MOMENT; HOWEVER AND SADLY, IT WAS A MEMORY OF A MOMENT FULL OF HATE, ANTI-SEMITISM AND RACISM THAT HAS BEEN HAUNTING ME AND REMINDING ME THAT I’M A MINORITY THAT HAS NO RIGHTS IN THIS COUNTRY AS LONG AS I LIVE IN HERE. IT REMINDS ME THAT I WILL SUFFER ALWAYS AS-A RESULT-OF THE CLOSE-MINDEDNESS OF MANY RACIST INDIVIDUALS AROUND US. AS PART OF MY STRUGGLE AGAINST HATE, RACISM, AND ANTI-SEMITISM, AND JUST LIKE EACH AND EVERY MIDDLE EASTERN OR EVEN OTHER COLORED PEOPLE, I STRUGGLED SO MUCH ESPECIALLY AFTER THE TERRORIST ATTACKS OF SEPTEMBER 11. THIS MOMENT HAPPENED TO BE AGAINST MY EXISTENCE AS AN ARAB, MUSLIM MINORITY, AND AGAINST MY RIGHTS AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN, IT ALL HAPPENED WHEN AN OLDER RACIST CAUCASIAN-LADY CALLED THE POLICE ON ME CLAIMING THAT I'M A TERRORIST WHO WAS PLANNING ON BOMBING THE SCHOOL. SINCE I WAS A HIGH-HONOR SENIOR IN MY HIGH-SCHOOL, I WAS GIVEN A SCHOLARSHIP TO TAKE SOME CLASSES IN THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE WHILE ATTENDING HIGH-SCHOOL. IT ALL STARTED WHEN I WAS IN MY COLLEGE COMPUTER CLASS DOING MY AMERICAN HISTORY PROJECT FOR MY HIGH SCHOOL ON THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TECHNOLOGY IN THE MAKE OF THE WWI, WWII AND THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR WEAPONS. WHILE PRINTING MY PROJECT, THAT LADY, SNATCHED MY PRINT-OUTS AWAY FROM MY HANDS, ASKED ME WHAT IT WAS AND THEN THREW THEM ON THE TABLE WHILE REPEATING THE WORD “INTERESTING,” MOMENTARILY, SHE TOLD THE TEACHER THAT SHE WILL NOT STAY WITH AN ARAB TERRORIST IN ONE CLASS THEN LEFT THE CLASS TO BRING ME THE COLLEGE POLICE TWO MINUTES AFTER. ONCE THEY ARRIVED, MY TEACHER ASKED ME TO TAKE EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE PROJECT PAPERS AND TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY BUT THE OFFICERS HAD COUPLE OF QUESTIONS TO ASK ME. I THEN WAS PULLED OUT OF MY CLASS, GIVEN MY RIGHTS FOLLOWED BY THE SENTENCE, “WE’RE NOT ARRESTING YOU!” AS IF IM IGNORANT OF MY RIGHTS. I KNEW THAT THEY WERE ARRESTING ME BY GIVING ME MY MIRANDA WARNING WHAT MADE ME TELL THE OFFICERS THAT I AM AWARE THAT I’M GETTING ARRESTED SINCE I WAS GIVEN MY RIGHTS BUT I WILL NOT REMAIN SILENCE NOR AM I GONNA NEED AN ATTORNEY SINCE I HAD NOTHING TO HIDE, NOR DID I HAVE ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. AFTER QUESTIONING ME FOR 2 HOURS AND 45 MINUTES AND AFTER THEY COPIED EVERY PIECE OF PAPER I HAD IN MY BAG, WALLET AND POCKETS, INCLUDING EVERY ITEM I HAD WITH ME, THE OFFICERS TRIED TO PULL MY LEGS AND PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH BY SAYING THAT THEY UNDERSTAND MY FRUSTRATION AND ANGER ESPECIALLY AFTER GEORGE W. BUSH ATTACKED IRAQ. I EXPLAINED TO THEM MY SADNESS AS A RESULT OF ANY WAR AGAINST CIVILIANS I ALSO EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT AT THE SAME TIME I WAS HAPPY SINCE THE UNITED STATES IS GOING TO GET RID OF SADDAM HUSSEIN WHO KILLED THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE INCLUDING MY MOTHER'S UNCLES AND MY GRANDFATHER WHO REFUSED TO SERVE IN THE IRAQI ARMY. AFTER LEARNING MY REACTION TO WHAT THEY HAVE SAID AND AFTER A FEW FAILING ATTEMPTS LIKE THE ONE MENTIONED ABOVE, I WAS RELEASED. AROUND 10:45 PM AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WILL BE A QUESTION MARK OR WHAT THEY CALLED A BLACK DOT ON MY NAME AND IN MY RECORDS JUST IN CASE ANY TERRORIST THREAT OR ATTACK IN OUR SCHOOL TAKES PLACE. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT IF A TERRORIST EVENT TAKES PLACE I WILL BE THE FIRST TO BE QUESTIONED AND ARRESTED. THAT UNFAIR TREATMENT MADE ME BECOME UPSET ESPECIALLY OF HOW THEY TREATED A SCHOLARSHIP SENT STUDENT, AND HOW MY NAME WASN’T GOING TO CLEAR AGAIN EVEN THOUGH I WASN’T HELD GUILTY. I ASKED THEM TO TAKE THAT BLACK DOT OFF OF MY NAME AND THEY REFUSED, SO ONCE I WENT BACK TO MY HIGH SCHOOL, I REPORTED IT TO THE ADMINISTRATION, TO MY TEACHERS, TO THE MUSLIM STUDENT ORGANIZATION AND MIDDLE EASTERN CLUB AT BOTH THE COLLEGE AND HIGH SCHOOL; I ALSO REPORTED IT TO THE COUNCIL OF AMERICAN-ISLAMIC RELATIONS AKA CAIR. I ALSO REPORTED IT TO THE SOCIAL SECURITY AS WELL AS EVERY GROUP THAT FOUGHT AND STOOD FOR MY RIGHTS. AT THE END, WHAT MADE THE SCHOOL CLEAR MY NAME AND THE POLICE TO TAKE OFF THE BLACK DOT OFF OF MY NAME WAS WHEN THE MIDDLE EASTERN, ARAB AND MUSLIM STUDENTS THREATENED TO CANCEL THE BIGGEST EVENT DONE BY THE STUDENTS AND BY THE MUSLIM STUDENT ORGANIZATION FEATURED BY MANY OF THE SCHOOL CLUBS, THIS ANNUAL EVENT BROUGHT A BIG ATTENTION TO THE COLLEGE SINCE WE INVITED TEACHERS PARENTS AND STUDENTS FROM DIFFERENT SCHOOLS AND OTHER RELIGIOUS AND POLITICIAN FIGURES TO JOIN US IN THE FAST-A-THON EVENT WHERE EVERY PERSON DESPITE THEIR RELIGIOUS OR ETHICAL BACKGROUND JOINS THE MUSLIMS IN THEIR FASTING THEN BREAKS THE FASTING TOGETHER AT SUNSET AS A SIGN OF EQUALITY AND BROTHERHOOD BETWEEN ALL MULTI ETHICAL BACKGROUNDS. THE ARAB, MIDDLE EASTERN AND MUSLIM STUDENTS TOOK THE THREAT INTO A HIGHER LEVEL OF THREATENING THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE ADMINISTRATION OF QUITTING THE SCHOOL, AND SWITCHING TO DIFFERENT SCHOOLS IF THEY DON’T CLEAR MY NAME AND APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT I HAD TO SUFFER THROUGH. BEING IN THE MIDDLE OF A TOWN WHERE THE MAJORITY OF ITS RESIDENTS WERE OF ARABIC AND MIDDLE EASTERN BACKGROUNDS, AND HAVING THE MAJORITY OF THE SCHOOL’S INCOME COMING FROM THE BIG NUMBER OF ARAB AND MIDDLE EASTERN INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS WHO ATTENDED THE SCHOOL AND PAYS CASH FOR THEIR CLASSES SINCE THEY DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR FAFSA AND SINCE THEY WERE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS. THEY WERE AFRAID TO LOSE HUNDREDS OF THEIR STUDENTS AS WELL AS THEIR REPUTATION IN THE COMMUNITY. RIGHT BEFORE WE WERE READY TO GO ON WITH OUR STRIKE AND MOVE WITH OUR THREAT, THE SCHOOL AGREED TO CLEAR MY NAME FROM THE BLACK LIST AND AGREED TO NEVER QUESTION ME FOR ANYTHING OTHER PEOPLE DO UNLESS IT'S OBVIOUS THAT I HAVE SOME FINGER-PRINTS THAT SHOWS MY RELATION TO IT.
I’M SORRY THAT THE ABOVE STORY WAS MY MEMORABLE COLLEGE MOMENT, THE REASON I MENTIONED IT IS CAUSE I PROMISED MYSELF THAT AS LONG AS INNOCENT PEOPLE SUFFER AND STRUGGLE AGAINST HATE, IGNORANCE AND RACISM, I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS MOMENT AND I WILL MENTION IT EVERY TIME I’M ASKED TO SPEAK ABOUT COLLEGE, RACISM, MEMORIES, EDUCATION OR AS A VICTIM OF CRIMES AND HATE.
