My family's history

"The people can't live alone" that is what my family taught me. I think to us as an Arabian people we like the social activates. We prefer to be in-group more than to be alone. I do not know why but that is what we grow up with. "If you want to know anyone very well test him in the travel." That is an old say in my culture. Many people agree with that because, in the travel the people will be in them natural way. In my family, we have a traditional that every year we have two trips. For me I was been in all of them except the last two because, I was here in the US. I have many benefits that I took from these trips. One example is, I set most the time with people older than me that means I took some lessons from them, some experience from them life, and some new words. That is one example; another is to know all the people in my family.
Before sixteen years, the relationship between my family's members somewhat weak. That happened because they live far from each other. That means nobody know the people who live in another place. My uncle was not happy for that so, he tried to thing about some thing that makes the relationship stronger. He knew some people who own some buses. He rent bus and tolled the family that we will make a trip so, who is interest about this trip he has to come to sign up his name in his home. In the first trip the passenger were not too much. Because, nobody thought about the advantage for this rather trips. As my father tolled me, that all my uncles and my antis were the only people in that trip. When they back, they always talked about that trip. After a year from that trip some people tolled my uncle to make it bigger this time because, they like to go. My uncle did that so, he rent two buses to go. It was fun. Now in the last year they were around 200 people.
For me, this trip is a good chance to meet the rest of my family specially the people who work or study far from my city. Moreover, I love to work or serve in those trips because all of them are my family. In the bus while we are in the street usually we make some activates like the best joke and some questions. In addition, the women prepare some foods that we enjoy eat them in the bus. I forget one thing, which I like also to go to buy the supplies for the trip before a day from the trip. Another task is to arrange the people in the bus. All that happened before the trip. When we arrive to our place we, the worker divide the work to us like the clean for a group while the food will be taking care from another. I like to be in the group who go to bring the food in the morning or anytime. Another thing that I am professional in it is to make the tae and the coffee. Usually I back from those trips with a new friendship and a relationship.
I am very sad that I could not go with them last year. The worst thing happen last trip is when I called them all of them said that we missed you inn the trip. I do not know why sometime I like to back to me home maybe because this activates. In the next year, I will try to be with them.

The Happy Eid

Back to Saudi Arabia, in a small home, that collects parents and four additional members they start to prepare themselves for the holly month. The month, that has many advantage and many things that we usually do just in this month. In that home a cool person, his name is Hisham. He woke up with a huge power this morning. His body looks active. His easy has a beautiful view for the future. He went to a great parents in them bedroom. He naked them door while he walked very slow and tolled his self that he want to go out to buy some ting. He entered the door and talked slowly to his parents. He asked them when we would go to buy the supply for Ramadan. The parents tolled him okay; we will go after ten minutes go to wake up your brothers. He run like the hungry man when he saw the food or like the baby when he heard his mother's sound. He is in the room now, and he took the entire blanket from his brothers' bed. He is very happy. The reason that let hem happy is two things. One of them is they will go to the supermarket, that mean he will has a new toys. Anyway, the second reason is the holly month is very close. While his family changed their clothes, he remembered what happened in the same this month last year. He remembered the felling for fasting. The felling that make the people equal in the life. He thought how it becomes the poor and the retch in the same condition. He looked to that month as something very special. "Hisham, we are ready" that voice return hem from his memories. They made the list the have what the want for this moth. Every one suggested one thing that he likes and my mother wrote it down. After that, we went to the car, we but the seatbelt, and we move to the supermarket. Now we are in that place, we bought every thing that we want our mom to cook for us in that month. The month is start. That mean we have to stop from the eating, the bad speech, the drink, and many things. Do not say that is hard because we have many methods we learn from fasting. Think how is relationship between the people will become. Anyway, the first day in Ramadan mean to change our customs and our routine. We usually are as night people. Back to Hisham he now went to school at 9 am, that thing gift hem a chance to stay late. Now, he backed from the school at 1 am, after that he run in the kitchen to helps his mother, "what you want mom?" that was his sentence. After they finished from cooking, they stay to watch the TV for an hour. If they finished from the TV, they will pray and read the Holly Quran. In the food time we will set together to have our food. That is one thing about Ramadan. The whole family will be together. After they done from the food, they will stay to talk and study a little bet. In the end, they will go outside to hang out with the families and the friends until the midnight. That is the month a social month and a religion too. That thing will keep going until the month end. However, there is a special time near the end; it is the time to buy the new clothes to celebrate the Eid event and day. Back to Hisham, we made the noise again to go to buy the new clothes. He went with his family to the mall. He bought a new a traditional dress to wear it in that day. In the next morning, Hisham could not sleep. He stays all the night just to be awake as he can. He has a good memory to remember what happened in that Eid. His parents come to his room. "Happy Eid my deer" that was the beginning thing he heard in that day and the give him a gift. It was 100 dollar. He repeats the sentence to them. After that he wear the new dress that he bought it new, and went to all the family to meet them. Hisham prefer that part most in the Eid. They well go to see all the member of his family starting from his grandparents and all his uncle and antis. After they finish from that, they will go with Hisham to have a family lunch. In the end of that the will go to the Family meeting. In that meeting, all the people who has any relationships with his family will be there. In addition, it is a good chance to see all the family and talk together. In the end of that night, Hisham's father took his family to have fun. Hisham is very happy because he saw all his family in that day and he collect money that he can buy what he likes. The end of Ramadan also let hem be happy. That is the best ceremony for Hisham in whole his life. But, now he missed that thing.

The way to catch the goals

Did you ask a child for the reasons that make him eat every day, he or she will say to grow up and have money. The same question give to any student about the thing that encourage him and her to stay all the night to study, the answer is to take the degree to make the rosy future. That is what I call goal. I think that each one has his and her own goals. Do not think that it is impossible to arrive to your goal. Myles Horton said that to catch your goal you have to think in the steps ( The long Haul p 226). That is not every thing; you have to try once and twice. In addition, the goals can be retched whatever it takes a short time or a long time in the end, you will take it.
What is the goal? It is the step that each one looks to the step, as he or she wants. Every one lives in the life to do something that what I call the goal. Nobody live without reason. The reason that let the people go to them job from the early morning and the same reason that make the soldier go to fight, all that to catch them goals.
The goals divide to tow kinds of goals. The first one is the close goal and the other is the far goal. The close one is the goal that is close to do I mean close in the time. For example, my closest goal now is to finish from this semester with high GBA. This goal will happen after month and a half. In this cease, I think it is easy to catch this goal for some people and hard to another. On the other hand, the long goal is that thing which you will reach it after a long time. Back to my self to have the bachelor is one of the far goals to me right now.
"Working hard while using strong self-confidence gives you what you want." This is the mine equation to do what you want in this life. I learned this thing from my grandfather. I mean believe in yourself, you will be able to do the miracles. Who can think that the black and the white people will be equal? It was the goal to all the black people in that time but one man was able to change all of that. Not with his money or his power but, with his work with his strong believe in himself. "Don't say it is hard before you try." Try to do what you want and remember that the mille start with point.
Some people will say there are some goals that are impossible to reach for example to be a president for the USA. I can answer them and tell them that "Be honest with your self." Each person has a limited power and a limited space that he or she can deal with. Another thing is you can be a president in a small group. However, all of us are a president in his or her home, work, school, and many places. In addition, you have to think for all the goals alike that example. Maybe some con will take this part from page 227 in The Long Haul that said that some goals are impossible to do. I can give them an example from the history that proves that is nothing impossible in the life. What you know about William Walls? He is a Scotland person, who refuses to live in the Briton control. That thing made him made overturning about that condition. He did not stay in his home as the old generation in Scotland and said, "I will let them control us and we are silent." He tried and tried. In the end, he died but his death makes the independence to his country. Think about this.
Now, think about that. All the people are catch them goals and those goals are develop to a new goals. The example for that is if you finish from the BCH you will start to study for the MAS, after that you will think to take the PHD. That is the life. The goals grow with us. Some thing to remember all the time, "Do not say it is hard without trying one time and two and ten." With the time and the hard work, you will do what you want. Moreover, do not forget the knowledge that helps you to do that.
