Who would have thought it grade 11 how
did I get here? More importantly where will I go from here! Let me
introduce myself, my name is Dana Farah, I was born and raised in the
United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi to be specific. As I have grown my
interests have changed quite a bit, I mean don’t get me wrong, I
still love watching cartoons and old disney movies, however, I have
gone from playing with dolls and having tea parties to beginning to
think of my future and what universities I would like to attend. My
main goal for grade 11 is to balance fun, and when to get serious and
stick my head into some books, and most importantly to passing grade
11 and moving swiftly on to grade 12! I care about the fact that
people no matter what race, culture, religion, shape or size anyone
is, they should never be judged for being who they are, I really
believe in that. The main two languages that I speak are English and
Arabic, they play huge roles in my life as they allow me to
communicate with my friends and family which I find very important as
they are the main people in my life that I can always rely and depend
on to always be there for me. Our various cultures display the
appropriate qualities within our community, personally I identify
through both the arab and english culture. I identify through the
arab culture through family traditions where as I identify to the
english culture through television, fashion, and liberal thinking.
Hi Dana :)
ReplyDeleteAlthough your introduction is quite shortly written, I could still decipher the essential parts that were advised to be included , and i admire your skill of informative summarization !
Also, i completely agree on how regardless of race, religion and culture, solid judgement based on those mere ideas people have of each other are unacceptable. cultures are quickly dying out and we are becoming more and more similar to each other, in terms of language, interests and sometimes even preferences. i like your point about how your english connection mostly derives from "television, fashion and liberal thinking." as its true, that is how a lot of people start developing a relationship with the english language.
hope to read more of your blog !
I love the bright and colourful background and setting of your blog because it makes the whole page look interesting and exciting. I like the fact that you have a goal to still enjoy yourself throughout this year whilst still managing everything that comes with being in grade 11 - because I share that same goal. I find it interesting that you embrace both English and Arab cultures because it shows that you can fit in with multiple people and is open-minded. I also love the quote at the end. Xx
