With such a motivation, I was very receptive to this course, and what I learned so far widely exceeded my expectations. Most importantly,…

In a drought stricken area like the whereabouts of my school, the first rains of the year is a cause for major celebration. So, we did just that. Having lived in Qatar all my life, the hills and the lakes that surrounded me were luxuries I had not been lucky enough to witness. My joy knew no bounds. My classmates and I splashed about in the knee-deep muddy waters that filled the trenches. Suddenly, it started to drizzle.
