Getting into the swing of things at my new university has taught me that A) i am out of shape and need to hit the gym B) I need to pack my lunch, my bank account is dwindling with every swipe and C) the opportunities that have been presented to me as a University student is overwhelming!
Watching the Tunisia and Egyptian people revolt has really had an amazing impact on my views of being able to change the world. One man poured gasoline on himself because of the injustice he was facing which started the Tunisia revolution and another man started a facebook group labeled D Day which started another revolution. These selfless acts of protest started a world wide revolution! Simply Amazing!
This started to get me thinking, what has the youth done for Somalia? I realized that i now want to go to Somalia and extend an olive branch, volunteer for 6-12 months as a teacher in one of Somalia's secondary schools. I would like to take supplies with me and teach kids from k-2, inshallah I hope to accomplish this and soon!
Until next time,
Idil J
