The Artist’s Baby He ran his stubby fingers through the rubber shreds, making loops or throwing tiny fistfuls at the cat. She continued to furiously erase an imperfect ocean wave as he played on and on with the ruins of his mother’s art. ‘tomorrow’ she thought she’d teach him how to draw his own […]
Our Visit to Al Noor – By Alina Khan 9-C
I Alina Khan of grade 9-C, will be sharing my experience of visiting Al Noor. The reason we all had gone there because, that our school, DPS Sharjah, had decided to adopt a class and we all had gone to inaugurate it.
While visiting Al Noor, I realized the condition of the children over there. It was not as good as the condition of children of our school. Nevertheless, they still had their dreams and aspirations, perhaps even greater than ours. Even though their bodies and mind were different than other students, their ambitions were far beyond ours. For example, there was a 15-year-old girl named Maitha, who is just a year older than me, and suffers from cerebral palsy. Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a problem with muscle tone movement and motor skills. It hinders the body’s ability to move in a coordinated and purposeful way. Even with her condition, she is a great designer and makes dresses, many of which get showcased in the fashion shows. Even though she cannot move, and has to be in a motor wheelchair 24/7, she uses eye-gaze technology which enables Cerebral Palsy students to operate a computer. An eye-gaze camera tracks eye movement which in turn controls the mouse and that’s how she makes her designs.
While God has gifted us with everything we need, we still neglect it. The learning experience I had from Al Noor was priceless. I hope to come back to Al Noor, but not as a visitor but as a person to help the kids.
But a beauty of god -Mariyah X-D
People believe that to create a painting you need a pair of brushes, a canvas and colors. That are just the materialistic things that you need but no one can make a painting with just materials.
Non materialistic things such as your insightfulness, creativity, ideas and your heart are what actually brings colors to a painting.
This original picture is a painting of god. All the strokes of this painting might not be uniform but this imperfectness makes the painting so perfect.
We all have a painting in us, and the world might not see it until we paint it from our heart.
Believe in your painting… because beauty lies with the beauty maker
Will to change, say YES to LIFE
Coughing in the dark and eyes tearing, Lungs felt heavy and mind smothering, Vision grew blurred as he counted the days, Laid in the bed helpless and distressed. He was a highly promising boy in his youth, Had all the assurances to make his life good, He had a lovely life ahead of him, […]

A MIND WITHIN A MIND
I sat tense as I checked my laptop for further information. My eyes were weary and bloodshot but being a forest officer there was no excuse from duty. I had to sit up all night, to attend emergency calls and drug trafficking cases in Virginia Woods. Virginia woods was notorious for smuggling and murder cases, […]
