Oye Como Va. Hear How it Goes.

Swell day! Hola! Hello! Mar7aba, mar7aba! How is all? I am great! School is now in full swing for me, I am taking: Business Calculus, Arabic 206, History 426, and Persian Gulf Studies. I love to learn more about the world and I am trying to figure out a way to where we can all help each other, instead of bring each other down (that includes us as individuals and as nations). Why is it that we offend and disrespect each other? That we talk about each other and utter things we cannot take back? I'm not saying we are all like this but we have done it once or twice in our lifetimes. Perhaps, we have faults that we know we have but seem to ignore and go after others, instead of fixing ourselves. What are we so afraid of? I try to be the best human being I can. I have not been enlightened like Buddha nor have I the most innocent intentions. But I know that I want the best for the people of the world, not just of my home countries, but because we are all on this Earth, sharing the sun and the stars--and they know all truth.

So, about my trip this summer...as many of you may have read that the plan is on flying to Venezuela and going to Argentina. I've been thinking lately....should I end up going to Brazil too? I would love to go but I have not mastered the Portuguese language and I don't want to seem like this big tourist and having to need a translator. I just imagine the beaches in Sao Paulo! Wow, wouldn't it just be delicious?! I'll have to think about it more, I'm not made of money and my job is minimum wage, can't complain though, work is work.

"I'm just a kid, trying to figure out the ways of the world. Trying to ease the pains and troubles of the Earth, and help dry away the tears. I didn't ask to be born with such compassion, but I won't give up. I promise to make the world better. For me, for you, for my friends."

Stay sane and humble my habibis.
