The significant event that occurred to me was my ninth birthday. The event was very special to me because I am Muslim; and when a Muslim girl turns nine she wears the hijab. My mother threw a big party for me; she made the party at the Mosque. My mother took me to the hairstylist before going to my party. I was so happy getting my hair done because all my Muslim friends were going to be at the party; and see how nice I look. Also, my mother dressed me up like a princess; and in that time, I felt like a princess. When I was in the mosque all the attention was on me. I was sitting in the front where all the people in the mosque can see me. I was so shy because I was not use to all of the attention. A lady came standing beside and was talking …show more content…
When I started to wear the hijab, I was very excited and nerves about the hijab. The reason why I was very excited to wear the hijab was because most of my Muslim friends were wearing the hijab; and my mother always talks about the hijab. Also, I was very nerves to wear the hijab because my school did not have many Muslim girls that wear the hijab. I told my dad to talk to my teachers about my hijab; and I told my dad to tell the teacher to tell the students to not pick on me, or bully me because of the hijab. I remember the first day I want to school with my hijab; I was very afraid and anxious to go to school. I thought that my friends were not going to be my friend because of my hijab. But, I was very shocked when I went to school because my teachers were so supportive; and that I found out that my teacher talked to the students about my hijab before I went to school. I was grateful about the kindness of the teacher. The students in my class treated me the same way they always treat me, and my friends were very supportive. Also, my dad showed up to my classroom with a cake. The classroom singed happy birthday to me, and took pictures with
Whether or not I wear a piece of cloth on my head does not define my relationship with my religion nor does it reflect my abandonment. What I do reflects who I am, not who my parents are, not what my gender is, and certainly not what my religion is. For me, college is not just about furthering my education. It’s a place where I get to explore who I am and how to express myself. Entering college with my hijab off will allow me to start with a blank canvas and figure out who I want to be. It will allow me to discover who I am without any backlash to people who may share an identity with me. My existence and the way I express myself is a form of resistance in a world that is judgmental of the way I look. I'm glad that I went through this journey because it made me understand that my religion is a part of who I am, whether or not I look the
To begin with, As far as I can remember, there was not an event that was important. There was a whole lot of mistakes here and there and sometimes, I learned from them. Other times, I just forgot about it. However, there were still some memories that I wanted to treasure for a long time. It is quite embarrassing to be honest but thinking back I could argue that I was still a naive kid. Even up to now, I am still a young adult who needs to learn more about the outside world.
On Thursday afternoon, just a day before this article was published, a missing game hunter from Eagle was found alive.
“I am angry because of your behavior, and I can not make jokes with you.” my mom said, “I am not mean to you, I just want you to be as thin as you can. Guys all like thin girls, so I hope that you can show your beauty during your youth.”
As my life starts to unravel I was going to a school where everyone was happy. In 1978 I went to a non religious French school with boys and other girls. Suddenly in 1980 it all changed as the dynasty came and took over. We were forced to leave our friends and go to an all girl school. We were also forced to wear veils at school, but we didn't know what to do with
When I was young in primary school, I was nine years old; I was a very quiet and shy girl outside with strangers. When my mom and dad had their friends at my house, or any one comes to visit us, I was still shy, but in our home I was very active and naughty, I was playing everywhere, I was playing with my sisters and I was born in a big house

I decided to wear the headscarf on my first day of middle school.I would always get questions like “what is that on your head, why are you wearing it, do you take a shower with that, why can’t you take it off” and so on.I tried so hard to fit in.No, I don’t shower with my hijab on. Yes, I do have ears and I even have hair! This happened everyday. But, being a kid in middle school it was complicated. I wanted people to notice me. I guess I just wanted to be like any girl would feel.I would wake up every morning and think how different I would be not wearing the headscarf. If i didn’t wear it I can be like the rest of the beautiful girls I would think to myself. I was jealous on the way I couldn’t dress in certain
Everyone has an event in their life that helped changed them in some way or stood out to them in some type of way in their life. Rather if it is, something like a birth of a child, a death of a family member or even receiving a job. A significant event in my life and helped me grow as a person was when I decided to pack up and move to Houston, Texas. My move to Texas may have been short but in that short period it helped me to grow to be more independent and to provide for myself and much more. When I made the moved to Texas, I moved with family members that I knew but I was not close with it.
Just recently, I had remembered my parents signing an online petition reprehending Islamophobia. With Muslims residing in Canada being stereotyped based on the actions of the uneducated extremists in the middle-east, Muslims are looked at as danger and can be unequally treated when finding jobs, going to school, and even travelling. Consequently, Muslims nationwide wanted some justice for the years of being mistreated and passed an anti-Islamophobia motion – an attempt for social change. I experienced Islamophobia first hand when I noticed the difference between travelling with my mother and father. My mother wore a Hijab, while my father looked somewhat European and almost every time I was stopped at the airport or felt uneasy with my mother and never had troubles when travelling with my father. The Hijab in many ways is a representation of Islam and with it comes all the misleading and controversial allegations against Muslims. I got the same uneasy feeling when I wore a hat that Muslims wear during prayer. Our norms of clothing might be different from the larger culture however we had done nothing
At the age of six, I, along with my sister, mother, and father, all lived in a small, overcrowded village near the Nile River in Southern Egypt. It was a sunny tuesday when I came home from school to find my pregnant mother smiling. After asking my mother why she was so happy, she proceeded to tell me that she had entered us into contest. When I heard contest, I immediately thought the prize would be money but I was erroneous. She told me if we win, we would go to America. She said it in such an astonished tone, as if it were a dream of hers that would never come true. She then sighed and turned her attention back to the kitchen. I didn't give it much though after that as I was six and didn't really understand what had just happened.
I was born into a family of mixed cultures and religions. My father was Christian and my mother was of an Islamic descent. I was always respectful to any religion, regardless of it’s beliefs, because it is a symbol of devotion and peace. When I grew up, I was fascinated to see how quickly Islam started to spread in Western parts of the world. My fascination was also followed by disbelief of how ignorant and cruel anti-islamic activists were, blaming every single act of terror and violence onto a religious group. I could believe it on a global scale, but I never knew it was something that could wait for anyone wearing hijab, right around the corner. In my first semester at Hawaii Pacific University, I decided to wear hijab to school, just
My first event was when my little sister Makelle was born. There were a lot of things that led up to here being born. One night I had a fight with my sister so to help us to get along my mom pulled us aside saying that she was pregnant and it would help a lot if we could get along better. Then there was the ultrasound, my cousin Kaylee was babysitting us while my parent went to go get an ultrasound, then they would call Kaylee and she would tell us whether it was a boy or a girl. When we got the call we all huddled in the hallway in front of the front door where it was bright from the sun coming through the windows. We were told it was a girl and everyone was elated, except for me because I was really hoping for a baby brother, but I was still happy. Although I overdramatically fell to my knees, closed my eyes, faced the ceiling and shouted noooooooooooo. Then a few months later she was born at the hospital and my family and I all crowded around
At about the age of 6, I used to think everyone was equal. I genuinely believed that people did not care about appearances. Believe it or not, I did not always wear a hijab. What is a hijab, you may ask? A hijab is a head covering Muslim females wear as a symbol of religious beliefs to show modesty.
It was May 17th, 2011, it was a normal school day when my brother and I were told that my mom called to say that she was picking us up early. I was anxious, wondering why we were going home early and breaking our usual routine. When my mom came to get us, the first thing that I noticed was that she didn’t greet us with her usual smile. I was 9 years old, very observant, but not able to sense what was to come. We got into the car, when I asked my mom where we were going hoping
