The Pen, was one of the Suras assigned that stood out to me more so than others. Number 7 states :”Verily your Lord knows those who have gone astray from His path, and He knows those who are guided on the way.” In my opinion this made me think of some words that Christians and …

No god but God Reading 10/22 & 10/24
Surprisingly, I have enjoyed reading this book!!! Reason why I’m surprised is because it isn’t anything like The Bridesgroom, which I enjoyed a lot. This book isn’t fictional and gives the history on the origins and evolution on faith as it relates to Islam. So far in the first two chapters I have gotten a …
ICR 10/23/19-IPS Newcomer
Wednesday- I always find the joy of still going because its always something new when I get there. This week the topic for english class is about gender and the stereotypes types put on them. Examples for males was masculine, strong, tall, sports, and not being sensitive to anything/expressing emotions. Examples for females was feminine, …
Islam Traditions
I found this recent video which show a woman’s soccer match and how the other component’s hijab started to fall off, while trying to get the ball from the other team. The opposite team around her ran and formed a tight circle around her to make sure she was hidden and protected while she fixed …

Last Wednesday (“A” day) at IPS Newcomer, I was in the same classroom which is Mr. G’s room (room 262 if ya curious). However, he was not there instead a substitute teacher was there. I did not have the opportunity to introduce myself to her since she was busy with other students up until the …

Overall, when I first signed up for this course I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy the topic but decided to take it anyways (try new things/subjects). To my surprise, I have really enjoyed learning about the culture in China and various topics we covered in class. This course has made me realize how much …
Bad Joke
Bad Joke was a very interesting, clever, and somewhat funny reading. The short story begins with policemen surrounding a building to arrest two men. Next, it does a little background story about how two men walk into a store and one of the men wanting to buy a pair of rubber loafers. Then, once the …
IPS Newcomer Week 1 -ICR
IPS Newcomer is a public school that provides education from third grade to eleventh grade. However, this is not your ordinary public school. Last week, I sometimes attended the facility twice (Monday and/or Wednesday), everyday is a challenge but I learn something new from the students and the teachers. To my surprise I did not …
GHS Reading 10/1/19
I really enjoyed this reading assigned, in particular, the section “The Mother of Mencius.” It made me really happy to see how much of an impact a mother has on their children. We tend to take for granted the support and push our guardian(s) give us. Without the support system, would we have gone to …
Broken
Today’s class discussion revolved mostly around the short stories in The Bridegroom, and the topic of reputation when it comes to gender. Even though, these short stories are fictional they are really good to debate on the messages hidden in them. Furthermore, in the short story, “Broken,” it brings up how women are treated when it …
