shock reflection - personal reflection 3


Once I was in school, I had the most wonderful day in my life because I just came from home with my dad feeling satisfied from me because of my hard work and good intentions but it just wouldn’t last long. Some of the people in my school feel that they are above themselves and they are the kings of the world. My origin comes from Persia and they think its something to laugh about. When I arrived, they gave me a disgusting look and started to make funny and aggressive signs towards me. During the lunch break, one of them came to me with a sarcastic face and started calling me Iranian rubbish and that I come from a disgusting origin and that I do not belong to the UAE. I felt really bad and couldn’t answer back because it is against my intentions and will. When I went home I told my father about it and he told me not to worry about it because they are actually jealous from me and what I am. I wasn’t sure and thought that he was just saying that to make me feel better. When I asked my mother, she told me that he has a point. When I went to school, I asked him why he was making fun of me and he told me that he was jealous of me and my place among the community so I told him that as long as we are friends and Muslims, we can never be different from one another.
