“The Sky is Our Ambition 🇸🇦✨”

Thousands of miles is the distance that distinguishes me from home. "You are always in my heart, and I will do my best to be a best example of you. Whatever I seek for you, I will not fulfill your right."

I am so glad to be an exchange student this year. I learned and taught a lot. My experience was full of challenges and adventures. There was a huge difference between my country and here. I wanted to discover a lot, and here I am every day 

and every moment I discover a lot. In return, I wanted people to discover who I was and from where. I was beyond honored to present 11 presentations in just two days (If I was able to do more in these two days, I would do them with pride and happiness).

I presented 5 presentations at Lebanon High School on Friday and 6 presentations at Ephrata High School on Monday. My presentations consisted of national anthem; home site in the world map, specifically the location of Al-Ahsa (the place of my life) and the capital (Riyadh); the climate; traditional food; traditional dress; famous sites(including religious and historical sites); national day and its activities.

I was very happy to answer all the questions and hear the students' opinion about my dear country and especially one of the professors. "Thank you for your precious time, You were an honorable example of the country. We learned and benefited a lot. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet an exchange student from Saudi Arabia," he said.

I left my dear homeland carrying hopes and dreams with me, and here I am striving to achieve them. The glint of my hope still shines with my eyes. As I remember when I left in my dress, which was written on the back, "The sky is our ambition."
