Your day is today, Your mountain is waiting for you




Hello everyone




How was your day?




Had a good day at school?




Today I am not in my best mood.. I am going on the dark side abit,




don't worry, I will be smiling and shinning again




so, should I introduce myself, I am a teacher




yes! that's how I like to introduce myself, after my name ofcourse, and I don't mean showing off




I remember when I was in NY, visiting my iEARN best friend and mentor, Lynn Rosen,




whenever she introduced us, she would introduce Fatma my friend who went with me she would




say " Fatma Al Mamaari. an English teacher and former fulbrighter, and she would look at me




and I would say " Asma, just an English teacher"




well, I love to be a teacher




and I would do anything to improve myself so I can be a better teacher for my students




that's why I took this course and why I became an iEARNer at the first place




Journalism can open many doors for the young minds to think beyond the news itself




to put their voice and hopefully someone would listen


everyone, if you have a dream don't wait, go and reach it, your day is today and your mountain




is waiting so go and climb it,, it is the climb that's makes the difference




somepeople, stand at the bottom afraid to try and others just get in their way and it doesn't




matter how many times you fail, you just keep trying, until you reach the top but remember it




never ends there




if you reach this line, I am so thankful that you were kind enought to read my lines




keep climbing




Asma
