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 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, […]

Hiraeth, by Anushmita Bose, 10D

Turkey is an enchanting country. However, the history never fails to connect at a spiritual level. Such was a city called Ephesus. There were only ruins and tourists, but through it I saw what it used to be. Marble paths that once used to be guarded, officials in courts making supreme decisions and maidens who sang songs beside fountains with excited water glittering under the sun. I saw it all.

As my advancing steps on the glistening tiles come to a halt, I stare in awe at the enormous Library. Ruined, but standing tall enough to capture the radiance and authenticity of the ancient Greek city.

Colossal striated columns rise from the ground, welcoming a visitor to the Library of Celsus. Walls are engraved with honored names and mantras. But all this is only a façade. Beyond lies a bare empty space in place of what used to be a majestic architecture, carrying thousands of least to most paramount scrolls. This glimpse of the past creates a pang of nostalgia for an ethereal time I’ll never know.

The Internal Process Of Writing High School Exams:

However, students find time to enjoy, hangout and relax within their ongoing schedule. Final exams are always blamed as a stress builder. This might not always be true. One can always […]
