Fahad Allnagrani Relationship

Improved Essays
Meeting with Fahad Allnagrani was a great experience. I learned information about Saudi Arabia that I was totally unaware of. Suadi Arabians all have pretty large families, Allnagrani had a family of 13 all in one household. He was the youngest so he had a pretty easy life growing up, especially with the awesome relationship he held with his mother. I also learned that Suadi Arabia has the largest Mosque, and people from all over the world comes to pray there often.
Allnagrani’s religion was Islam. “Islam’s have to live by tons of rules and regulations” said Allnagrani. One rule that really caught me by surprise was the fact that men were not allowed to touch any women unless they were married. That specific rule is so different for me, because

    In early Islamic culture, a transgender woman called a mukhannathun, a woman who had been born a male but with natural femininity, was accepted and allowed to have relations with men or women. The mukhannathum held an important position in society, associated with music and entertainment, and are stated in the Qur’an as companions of women. They were companions of Prophet Muhammad and his wives, and close enough to accompany them in their homes. However, this is significant as a woman’s chamber is known to be a holy place for Muslims, and is forbidden to strangers and most unrelated men.…

    The event I decided to attend was the presentation “Dreamers after DACA” by Maria Belen Sisa. The main reason I decided to attend this presentation was mainly due to the fact that the DACA situation is something I am actively involved in and hearing stories of individuals under this program gives me insight as to what is currently happening to them after the program was ended. Sisa also discussed ways to get involved and take action to demand a clean Dream Act which was another factor as to why I attended. This event relates to the course’s theme because it discussed the issue of ethnicity and ethnic groups in education and employment.…

    And it was a culture shock, because some things I was familiar with were practically rare to them. For example many didn't know what Enchiladas were and since I'm Latina, it amazed me because where I come from that's a common Mexican cuisine. In addition,we all had many different views on relevant issues like immigration, gun control,etc. I met a girl who knew how to hunt so that brought an interesting perspective on the issue of gun control. Because in Santa Ana it's rare to find someone who can hunt because it's an urban area.…

    Being a student at one of the most prestigious schools in the United States, you are given amazing classes which teach us various topics which eventually bring us back to our major or main topic of our undergraduate. Being a Mexican student, my knowledge is primarily about the struggles and stories from my own country. Coming to this school and meeting other minorities from other countries and taking classes that teach us about those countries as well, my knowledge about other problems and stories that happen to other students, families, and youth throughout the countries makes us realize that we are all the same and not alone when it comes to tragedies and inequalities like the ones many of us encounter in the US already. Attending "El Pais Que Viene” a Non-Profit Event & Book Launch, allowed me to connect the various topic and stories I learned in my Chicano studies class called “Central Americans” where we discussed the important events and inequalities that are happening throughout these central American countries and looking at stories through literature and media. Living in the Untied States as a minority, we tend to not tell our stories from our countries or even identify ourselves from those countries due to the negative image that the US has towards the people who come from these different countries.…
