(no subject)
i graduated from year eleven yesterday. my report was good but i knew it was going to be because i have done good in all my exams and assessments and my teachers love me. we have an awards night coming up soon and i am excited about that because i think i topped four of my subjects and it will make me feel proud of what i have done this year.
i love my school because it is so small there are no cliques or bitchiness and everyone is friends with everyone. i can't walk past the carpark without someone offering me a lift and a million people have offered to teach me to drive. i've cried with mamdouh habib's son about missing our fathers and i've gotten to meet people straight out of places like afghanistan, iran, iraq, kurdistan, sudan and even palestine which has made what i see on the news or read in the paper alot more real and important to me and some of their stories have really touched my heart. i feel blessed because if it wasn't for school i would have had no way of meeting these people and it gives you a whole different perspective on things when you meet the people that have been affected by it.
i remember enrolling on the first day of school and being scared because even though my father is palestinian the arab world is foreign to me and i just look like an aussie girl and i was sure that no one would talk to me. i couldn't have been more wrong because this year i have met some of the most beautiful people in the world and i don't think i could have done this well in a conventional school at all. in three weeks i am finished for the year and i really can't believe it.
i've got less than a kilo to lose and then i am at my target weight and today in the mailbox i got a letter from starshots because i won a free glamour photoshoot.
