“Pursuit of Happiness”

"Man Jadda Wajada", an arabic quote that means whoever strives shall succeed. It is for anyone who has a strong determination to reach for the stars. This reminded me the day I decided to take on the challenge of pursuing my dreams. As I was scrolling down my facebook feed, I saw a picture of these two young ladies with the cockpit as their background. They looked fulfilled. You would ask, whats the big fuss about it? They were actually pilots but the difference was they were also wearing a hijab (head-covering). Growing up as a muslim, it is not everyday you get to see someone wearing a hijab especially in muslim-minority country. Though I am not wearing a hijab just yet, I found that photo empowering in all aspect. For me it felt like cheering all women regardless of their race or religion. It was the sign I was looking for, an affirmation of my dreams.

I was inspired to become the best I can be but somehow I had doubts about myself. I have my flaws and to be honest I have nothing to boast. I am not even a good writer nor a good speaker. I am no good compared to others. I am just a pretty face, some say. I doubted myself too much. It was a rocky ride but I made it through. I have decided to continue for my own growth. I realized a lot of things. I learned to be tough. I accepted the fact the people will judge you no matter who you are and what you do. It was this challenge that made me who i am. It was all worthwhile because I was able to know the extent of my capabilities.

I owe it all to Allah and to the people who believed in me and continued to inspire me to become better. I am grateful to my family for being the greatest support system ever. They never questioned my dreams. When I told them what I wanted to be, they showed me overwhelming support and love. My friends, old and new, cheered for me and always had my back. I pray that someday I can give back and make these people who believe in me proud. In Sha Alla

"Being a Student Athlete"

It was last year when I started to play volleyball in IAU and its no easy for a student pilot to be a student athlete. It was a tiring year not because of the training but also the need to balance academic and social life. It was a struggle because the training starts right after the last subject. The trainings are a killer and trying to do any academic work makes me start to think that I should stop playing. I can still remember that I almost cried answering my RWS book over 20 pages of essays and to study pilot ground course makes you stay up late not knowing you didn't have much time to rest. The longer you stay up late, the harder to lift yourself every morning at seven AM. Every night I seemed to be getting less and less sleep than the night before. But a volleyball player never quits. Volleyball teaches me life lessons that classrooms can not. Life lessons you learn from the court, coaches and from the team. Moreover, the love of volleyball is the real reason why I didn't give up. To the point where you forget the pain and stress when you're in the court. The bond of the team, the moments you've shared together, the long school service ride and the memories you'll never forget.

One month from now, my journey of being a student athlete will be over. I have experienced being an athlete and I am proud that I made up to this point. That determination is the reason how I conquer and manage to survive. I may be the tallest in the team, the blocking tower, the middle blocker but not the strongest player. That's why I continue to step and jump to reach the ball up high to see the limit and challenge myself of what capabilities that i could do more. Volleyball is not about the height, its all about the attitude and skills with determination.
