I absolutely love to make tiktok videos and dancing. My dream is to be a university professor. My favorite color is light blue. My favorite animals are cats and dogs and it's funny how much I love it when it rains cats and dogs! Family time is very important to me, I always spend quality time with my family on our farm. Whenever I am with my family by the farm I enjoy seeing the plants growing as well as the different animals. My favorite hobby and sports is swimming, I swim for fun and exercise. 
I do not insects and snakes, I even hate seeing pictures of snakes especially. I also do not like long waits in restaurants when I go out to eat, it makes me go bananas! Another dislike of mine is staying long hours in the malls shopping, I love all the nice things but I hate a long shopping day!

It was a lot of fun because we had a lot of guests - my cousins, my friends and my family. There were so many fun activities such as painting booths, we had an outdoor movie theater, we had the cute dogs out! We had so much to eat, yummy foods such as personalized cakes, cupcakes, we had an ice cream machine, cotton candy and popcorn machines. My grandpa paid for a trampoline and water slides  which we had set up by the pool. The adults at the party had a section for themselves where they hang out and drank coffee, socialized and ate. My friends and family made beautiful birthday toasts and well wishes to me. I was so overjoyed and felt happiness in my heart when I heard all the wonderful things they had to say.  Some of my friends slept over. We talked a lot before we eventually fell asleep. It was a very eventful day, I was so tried in the end but it was super fun and I would love to celebrate my birthday like this again in the future.

I was over the moon to get dressed in my uniform, go shopping for school supplies and step through those gates at AAG. I missed being in a classroom, I missed my friends and I missed live interactions at school. I am glad I am able to be back in school full time because I think I learn better being in school physically and not virtually. If I should be honest I would say I am struggling in some subjects and I am working hard to improve. There is always room for improvement but I get demotivated sometimes. I will keep trying to do my best to make my parents proud. I will also work on my confidence in classes. I have learned a lot of new things and I am proud of myself. I can do so many more things on the internet and google classroom thanks to online learning. I aspire to be better in every way educationally in 7th grade and I will motivate myself to do my best and believe in myself more. I hope I will have genuine, patient teachers who will be interested in my academic progress and be nice to me. I am looking forward to a great year ahead. You can do it Shouq! I believe in YOU! ]]> 2022-04-28 15:01:59 UTC https://padlet.com/04234/Bookmarks/wish/2162798051 Journal Entry 3 - Summer Plans 04234 https://padlet.com/04234/Bookmarks/wish/2163228252 I am looking forward to a great summer! I have not travelled since the pandemic and my family and I will be travelling to Europe this summer. I have never been to London and that will be one of the countries we will travel to. I cannot wait to explore London! I want to go the London Eye and Buckingham Palace and try British foods! I will also be spending lots of time on the farm in Wafra with my family. I am looking forward to sleeping in late and doing more fun stuff that I have to avoid doing when I have school and have to study. I am looking forward to my salon visits in the summer because I absolutely love doing my nails in the nail salon! I will be choosing all the fun summer colors. I will also be meeting up with my friends and doing fun stuffs together. Towards the end of the summer I will go to summer school to refresh my memory and prepare myself to get back into school mode. ]]> 2022-04-28 19:23:52 UTC https://padlet.com/04234/Bookmarks/wish/2163228252
