Personal Project



  After contemplating at 9 months of hard labor , I can confidently look at the mirror and say that "I did it! ". To clarify , my personal project consists of elaborating a book entitled "can you see us" . This literary novel is composed of five short stories, each depicting a poverty related aspect I wish to emphasis on in order to transpire the hardships this deprived social class endures. My primordial goal is to contribute in highlighting the existence of this pity evoking social strata in order to underline the necessity of aiding and salvaging them from their deteriorating living standards. Frankly, at the beginning of this quest I though many times of altering my choice of topics into something less ambitious in deference to the obstacles I faced. Obviously , writing a book is no walk in the park , it was a long and exhausting journey that stimulates one's mind and tests his commitment and patience. However , after looking at what I have achieved , it was worth it ! The concept of the personal project is not just a distasteful theory that simply aims to pressure the student throughout an entire year . On the contrary it is an opportunity for each student to walk the first steps towards maturity and independence ! Honestly , this experience has taught me to remain dogged and resolute in order to obtain what I desire , in life nothing can be obtained easily , only through hard work and devotion do we amount to success and achieve our aspirations !

What's the only kind of ship that doesn't sink? A Friendship :P


Friendship, what is this abstract concept? What does it signifies? Well, friendship is no theory or some sort phenomena that could be explained in mere words. Evidentially, it is a strong rapport that emerges between two individuals, this type of relationship is a unique of its kinds, for it us the exchange of pure, truthful love and human communication. Like I said before , friendship is not a term definable by words it is a whole experience by itself  ,one like no other , it is a chance to grow, prosper, learn, love, laugh, cry and most prominently an opportunity to share your life with someone who matters, isn’t that all everyone’s searching for?

In fact, everyone has their own definition and expectation of what friendship should like or be like. Moreover, I’ve been asked to write an essay exposing the qualities I seek for in a companion and the anticipation he should achieve in order for me to consider him ‘a good friend’. To be sincere, I do not look in certain qualities hence choosing my friends, I cannot preclude the change of friendship with an individual’s just become he doesn’t share the same idea, principals or beliefs I do! From my perspective, friendship is an exceptional occasion to teach and learn, to act and react, to observe and imitate, to experience and to give experience. Friendship cannot be defined by certain characteristics or ambitions, it is an adventure and a risk every human should undergo in order to prosper, if we demarcated certain features we think are imperative in a friend and abided by them, we would definitely become prisoner of self-imposed isolation!

Nevertheless, I must note that although we should not set certain indicators in deference to which we choose our friends, we should be vigilant to some general traits or behavior patterns that entitle the individual to be truly considered as a bad friend whom we must avoid relations with. In brief, friendship is a journey on which we embark with different companions, they journey might be long or short, anguished or pleasant and sometimes, amusing or placid, who knows? The only thing that matters is to learn from each journey we take and learn from our mistakes because that’s how we evolve as human beings.
