The school year ended during the month of ramadan; and immediately after the end of the school year I made my way to Jordan. It was great to take my mind off school work for a while, re live some great memories, and most importantly spend time with my family and friends who I haven't seen for a long time. In my point of view, nothing really changed. The roads, buildings, and areas were all identical and the exact same. It was a different type of vacation compared to the past couple of years where I would visit countries I have never been to before around Europe.
Despite it being a short and enjoyable trip in visiting my home country, that trip helped me realize and appreciate many things. I came to realize that I'm blessed to be living the life I'm living in Abu Dhabi, after seeing that many of my friends are limited to options when it comes to where and what they would like to study, remembering the way we drive, and of course after witnessing the struggles many of the Jordanian people face and live through in their daily lives. This has motivated me to put even more effort into my schoolwork this upcoming school year.
My vacation was enjoyable but now it's time to get back to reality as I'm looking forward to get done with this final year of school. Now that I'm back in Abu Dhabi, its probably time to get started with my summer work.
