Presentation Day (A thank You note)
Wednesday the 26th of Muharram, 1433 (21-12-2011) was the appointed day for my students (G7) to present their presentations and for me to sit in the audience seat and evaluate their work.
I didn't really expect what was waiting for me on that day.
My students surpassed my expectations in many ways:
1- Their language proficiency has improved in a clear noticeable day.
2- Their confidence as they stood and present their topics in English was admirable.
3-I was happy to see that they have followed my instructions and tried their best to apply all the points in the presentation checklist , which I gave them.
4- I was so thrilled to see the shining wonderful sparks of their creativity and enthusiasm.
5-It was clear to me that they have put so much effort and time into their work.
6-Their generosity was overwhelming as they distributed stuff , brochures, cupcakes, food, souvenirs , flowers, and so many things that are related one way or another to the topic of their presentations.
7- Their cheerful attitude and respect towards this whole project was something to be happy about.
For all these reasons and more, I'd like to heartily thank my students Group 7 and wish them the very best as they walk their road and harvest the success of their hard work.

Knowledge is a gift
Knowledge is a gift.
And it is wonderful when shared ;)
It is an everlasting gift when appreciated and used properly. When someone gives you such a gift ( for example, giving you pieces of some enlightening advice or useful information that helps you in your life), you can use it over and over, unwrapping it again and again. It never really ends or runs out. It is eternal and priceless.
The thing about knowledge is that at times it is given unintentionally without prior planning or meditation that it's honesty and purity shine and can touch you deeply. Knowledge is also sometimes absorbed without your permission or conscious planning.
Over the years, I have been blessed with knowledge bestowed upon me from different people. Among these people are certainly my teachers, professors, trainers, colleagues, superiors and even my students. I am eternally grateful for their everlasting gifts that certainly left their imprints on me and on my life in one way or another.
Today, as an academic -realizing the hidden and obvious gifts of knowledge- I try my best to be generous and honest with this gift. Knowledge at times seem more like bundles of sunshine that could shed light on some obscure areas or minds. I try to share it and motivate my students to make the best use of it.
Love,
NY
