My Super Woman

Assalamualaikum,

You see guys, you haven't met the most incredible woman in my life. She gave birth to 7 kids, the first one was a caesarean baby, where the doctor said that the chances of her having another baby was very little. But SubhanAllah, He is the Most Merciful and Most Gracious, blessed her with another 6 in tow.

She married early, had a baby 1 year after her marriage, received her Master and PhD with 7 kids. She is a lecturer, a doting wife, a loving mother, a caring daughter. She is patient, and calm and she almost always never worries.

She is my super woman. She is my mother.

Of Hijab and Cheerleading.

Assalamualaikum and warm greetings,

It is the start of a new semester here in South Korea. Spring is slowly coming out of her shell (it's still cold but we were blessed with rain today) and Konkuk University is already buzzing with activities.

This week has been funny and hectic. I now live with two juniors who are one year younger than me. It's their first semester at Konkuk University and sometimes they would come home and tell me stories about their day, how hard it is to attend a class where the professor speaks in Korean and the class material is also in Korean, how Koreans won't even smile at them or how they feel totally left out and ignored.
