Before The Trip To USA

When I heard that I got accepted in the ASU , it gave me an adrenalin rushing through my body and started to tell everyone about the great news.My family and friends were very proud of me . Before the trip to the US, I started to see my family very often because I knew in this moment that I will be missing them so much.They helped me to get there and I really appreciate everything that they have done to me .Without them I would not be in here right now writting this essay in my AECP class.My mum helped me to pack my luggages before the trip. She bought me clothes , pens , pencils , books , perfumes etc.In that very day , I started to say myself that I am going to travel to the US and could not believe it.Next,I started to go see my friends.We mostly gather in hooka play playstation, talking about my plans in the US and tell them how I feel before I am leaving Kuwait.I left the hooka by saying goodbye for them and they were all  happy for me but sadly that I woould not be seeing them for a very long time. Next day is the day that I did not sleep because it was the day that I am going to leave Kuwait. My family and I went to the airport in the morning.After I finished placing my luggages in the airport , this was the last time that I saw my parents . We said our good bye and my mum was very sad and could not believe that I will not be there sitting next to her every morning talking to her , hang out and having a funny moments together.It was indeed a very sad moment seeing my mum feeling that way.

Letter 1

Regarding to this letter, I would like to purpose to you to do two plans .First plan , start making rules and punishments around the house. When he starts following the rules, I am sure that your child will be a lot secure and maintain his great personality.My second plan is that you should never swear infront of a child ever again!It damages your child's life by bringing him in a very bad habit and being disrespectful towards the your family and the people.Your child is following your family foot steps which refers that children are learning by watching a behaviors of their family.I hope my advice was good enough to help and I wish you all the good luck that I have.

Last Year I Became A Niece!

Last Year I Became A Niece!



In December 12, 2010, my brother's son was born in Dar Al Shifa hospital , Kuwait.After I heard the news, I went to the hospital with my family to see my new niece! First time I saw the baby was when my brother gave his son to my parents to hold him.He looks like a copy of my brother's face! White as a cloud,his lips are big and he is in a great health.I never saw him that happy ever in my life.He made the best party in the hospital and got  the best chocolates and food around Kuwait. Everyone was proud of him , parents , brothers , sister, uncles ,aunts and cousins.My father asked my brother of his name.He replied and said that he is going to call him Dawood because he always dreamt of being called 'Bo Dawood'.It was really a very special moment for us and specially to my brother , his wife and for his new born.When I get my first child , I hope that I can celebrate the same as my brother's first child.Welcome Dawood to our family and I am ready to be there for you whenever you needed me and willing to be the greatest uncle.

The Family Today

Does marriage ever exist today? What about the children that does not have a family? Where do they go? In this essay , I am going to write about the difference between Kuwait and United States families.

In 1960s, Kuwait had a frequent number of marriage as they can get married when there too young. They had a very big, happy family. Before oil was established,people worked hard in the seas and go far away  to make money so they could let their family live.Morover, they parent their children so well and made them learn about the culture of Kuwait.

After 30 years, there has been a tremendous increase in marriages. The difference was that we have oil and people now need to work in a high class job to get his family living a great life. The advantage is the husband cannot be far away from home.But the disadvantages was the number of people that got divorced had gone up significantly.In addition, children cannot be treated this way . It confuses the children's life and can make his life a big breakdown.

In the other hand, I have learnt from the American families that they have a step-families or adopted to other families. It can save the chlidren's life and make them happier. But the difference in the United States is that the american families live below or near the poverty level for example job , school problems etc.Compared to Kuwait, we rarely have this type of situation as the government helps us to save the family . The other difference is that husband can take care of his children while the wife goes off to work. While in Kuwait, mostly husbands does not stay with family because they had nannies.
