Fahad’s life between Minnesota and Tennessee

I lived in Minnesota for four months since last year. I had such a miserable life in five points. First, I didn’t use my time efficiently. Moreover, I didn’t have any schedule, and I went with the flow, so my time was disorganized, and I didn’t keep my commitment with my friends. For example, I used to give my friends my word to meet at a particular time. However, I used to ditch them without any reasonable reasons. Second, my English was very poor. I couldn’t make one sentence correctly when I came to Minnesota. I remember that one of my friends used to be my interpreter in the airport. He translated every single word when I wanted to finish the migration process. Third, my social life used to be limited. Although there were many activities in Minnesota, I didn’t attend any one of them. Furthermore, I didn’t hang out with my friends. Fourth, my food used to be unhealthy. I used to eat outside instead of cooking at home. Applebee’s restaurant, as an example, was a main thing during my day. My dinner usually used to be in that restaurant. Moreover, the waiters there knew my usual order, so I didn’t have to make any effort to order. Fifth, I used to spend my money impulsively. I didn’t have any budget to control my purchases. Moreover, I used to buy a lot of things that I didn’t need. For example, even though I had a lot of clothes, I used to go shopping for clothes which affected my financial status.
Since January 2009, I have moved to Tennessee. I decided to start a new page in my life to pacify myself, so I have worked hard to change those five essential points in my life from the worst to the best with high motivation. First, I use my time efficiently these days, and I put my daily schedule that organizes my life. Moreover, I feel my life has become more comfortable than before. Second, my English has improved a lot compared with Minnesota’s days, so I can depend on myself when I want to communicate in English. Third, my social life has become more active. I participate in the activities in Vanderbilt University with my friends. Fourth, my food has become healthy, and I cook at home instead of eating outside. Fifth, I put a monthly budget which protects me from getting into debt. Furthermore, I arrange my purchases, so I don’t buy things that I don’t need to. All in all, those changes in Tennessee have made my life better than it used to be in Minnesota.

Abha City

Abha city, which is in the southern region of Saudi Arabia, receives two million tourists who come from inside and outside Saudi Arabia every summer. They come to Abha for two reasons. The First reason is Abha has a wonderful weather in the summer. The temperature is between 15-20 degrees Celsius, so they enjoy visiting tourist attractions with this nice weather. The second reason is Abha has many tourist attractions, and every tourist should visit these places. First, the Green Mountain has beautiful view of Abha. Moreover, it has a telpherage station to enjoy seeing the mountains. Second, Alsodah has the highest point in Saudi Arabia, so they enjoy paragliding. Third, the tourists like taking photos of stone cars. Finally, Abha shopping festival has many international products such as Iranian, Syrian, Chinese, and Saudi products. In conclusion, I really enjoy spending my summer in Abha, and I recommend you to visit Abha.

My Spring Break

My spring break was mixture of the happiness, adventure, injuries, and a little bit of studying. My friends and I planned to travel to the smoky mountains. In fact, I wasn’t enthusiastic for this trip. However, my friends guaranteed that this trip will be the funniest trip in my life. After a while of thinking, I changed my mind, and I prepared myself for the trip rapidly. In next day, we were ten who decided to go to the smoky mountains, and we were divided into two groups with two cars. After that, we moved to our destination depending on the GPS. In our way, we enjoyed seeing the beautiful scenes and taking a lot of photos. After three hours, we arrived to our cabin, and everyone was trying to choose the convenient room. Fortunately, I was late, so my room was the home theater. Actually, no one thought about the home theater except me. The home theater has a projector which helped me enjoying seeing movies while my friends were sleeping. In our staying, we had a lot of fun, and we dedicated few hours for studying as well. Moreover, there are three special things which we did during that trip. First, we went to ski without taking any lesson, so you can expect any kind of injuries. Second, we had a soccer competition by playing PS3 which was very competitive and fervent. Finally, we enjoyed doing barbecue with the spectacular weather. After three days of having fun, we came back to Nashville with full of energy to start our school gladly.
