The Best Day
Remembering the happiest event is one of the good ways to refresh yourself. One day is still stuck to my mind when I graduated from King Saud University in Saudi Arabia from Business College in 2009.
The night before graduation was the worst night. Last semester, I had four classes so I passed all of them except one class I was waiting for the final grade. Also, it was the hardest class in that semester. Consequently, I ran out of patience and I was very worried about it. As result, I was frustrated I could not eat, talk and sleep because I was very preoccupied. Every once a while, I checked my online grade to see if there is any update and checked with my classmates as well. I went to my bed hopefully get some rest and sleep but I could not. I spent all night thinking and watching the well clock. In addition, about every 20 minutes I got off from my bed I did not know where I was going to, then I went back to it. Besides that, the time was moving very slow and I fluctuated on either side while I was lying on bed. Indeed, I made promise to my parents that I will graduate this semester. As result, I had been worried to make it. I wanted to show them how is their son is ambitious and successful. If I do not make my promise might they think I am not serious person. I had the worse night, so I decided to meet my instructor to check out my grade. Graduation morning, I prepared myself early to meet my instructor. I drove my car to my school but I could not concentrate on drive my mind was very busy. Also, I was very quiet I did not listen to music or radio as usual. As soon as I got there I parked my car and walked to his office in the meantime my heartbeat started beating faster. Once I arrived at his office, I figured out that not the only one was very worried. I met some of my classmates who were waiting for the instructor. We had waited for almost two hours front of his office. During waiting time, we were talking to each other about our grade. Then for no

    I dreaded the alarm that woke me up at 6:30 in the morning. It was as loud as a screaming toddler that could be heard for miles. I groggily got out of bed and got ready for my first day of school. It was a weird feeling not putting on a uniform like I had been for the past nine years, but I also enjoyed that freedom. The nervousness became more and more intense as I could closer and closer to campus. When we arrived, I got out of the car, and watched my dad drive off to go take my younger sister to school. There was no going back now; I had no other choice than to walk through those doors. I felt like my throat was in my stomach. I noticed some familiar faces, and I walked towards them. While I was approaching my friends, a senior, facing toward me, walked passed. He must have been at least six feet tall, which was incredibly intimidating for me at just over five feet. I was not used to the fact that I’d potentially have classes with these giants. Additionally, the array of new teachers, and having to learn all of their teaching styles and things they did or did not tolerate was hard in…

    The harsh terrain in the area of modern Iran made it very difficult for humans to survive and find water sources. The arid climate meant more work for agriculture and agricultural surplus was very rare. Organizing the building of underground irrigation channels for agriculture required a strong central government. The connection between royal authority and prosperity can be seen in the ideology of the first Persian Empire. (p. 100, 102).…

    The hot humid air surrounding me made me break out in sweat just by sitting in the same seat for 80 straight minutes. My butt started to ache as I continuously shifted my weight from time to time waiting for the bell to finally ring indicating that class was over. The professor had been lecturing for the past hour or so and my fingers were starting to cramp from taking notes. My notes are scribbles because I am falling asleep waiting for him to finish the lecture. The words coming out of his mouth sounded like gibberish to my ears and I was unable to comprehend any of the information he said;this will continue for the next three classes I have in a role. I do not want to imagine how I will look like when school. I questioned myself if this…

    The night before, I had checked my grades because I would be anxious all the time due to me trying to be a perfectionist in school. I had an A- (94%). I was then thinking in my head “Ok, I'm doing good so far, but I need to keep it up or it'll slip and fall like when you're on a wet rock” until the next day when we took an f.a 1.3 in Math. When I walked into class that day I looked on the board on what we were going to do, it said “f.a 1.3”. I was so nervous that in my head, I asked myself, “Do you get it, is there anything you need help with?”…

    Three years ago, I came into a world full of dreams, but these dreams can take you down if you don’t pay good attention. I am the first born in my family. Before I came here, I was so afraid to come to a new country, which I didn’t know any thing about. I was somehow confused, and the biggest fear that I had was about adapting to a new culture. After some days of being at home, I was taken to school where I met so many student, teachers, and other nonteaching staff. Although I didn’t know anyone, all the people I met welcomed me, and I really appreciated the welcome. The school counselor called one of the students and told him to show me my classes. Then the boy took me to my new class, and when I entered, all eyes were on…

    In the first year of college, I had to face many new things. I felt nervous and a little excited. I thought, “ it’s my first semester of college in America, try being open-minded.” I imagined many bad and good situations, and how to deal with them because I thought it would relieve my perturbation, but it was not. I was getting more afraid and more nervous. I kept struggling with those thoughts for a whole first semester. Walking through the class’s door, with people speaking a new language, I saw people greeting, talking, having fun… They looked excited and happy. In opposition, I sat alone in the…

    I woke up earlier than my brother as every other day of the week. I took a fifteen minute warm shower. It left me with twenty five more minutes to get dressed, have breakfast, brush my teeth, say good bye to my mother and get in the car no later than 7:05. I got to school on time, even though my brother came out of the house late as he used to. It was a Thursday. Those first two forty five minute math periods made the morning go by too slow for me. I took the math test and did pretty well at it. I had prepared well the day before with a really good friend of mine. I was walking to the chemistry rooms when my phone in my left pocket vibrated. I took it out and looked at the shiny screen. As soon as I saw my father’s name on that screen I realized something was not right. He would not call me in the middle of a school day just to talk. He would want me to focus in school and do well. I answered the phone, my father sounded worried. She told me not ask any questions, just to follow her instructions closely. I was told to find my brother as soon as possible, walk with him to the school picking up zone and get in the car with my brother. Our driver would take us back home were my father was. When I was in the car with my brother my dad called the driver and told him to take us to the hospital. We were going to meet him and my mum there. As soon as my brother and I found about the change in plans, we looked at each other in the eyes. I immediately notice the fear in brother’s eyes. To be honest, I was really scared too, probably more than he was. But I did not say anything. We arrived at the hospital. I saw my dad on the phone waiting for us at the entrance. He was smoking. Seeing my father smoking made me more worried. I had never seen him smoke before. He hated it. As soon as he recognized the white van, he threw the cigarette away. I looked at my brother; he was looking out the other window. I did not tell him what I just saw. I did not want him to worry. The car…
