Personal Narrative: My Life In Egypt

I lived a good deal of my life in Egypt, then I came to the USA five years ago, and I have been living here since then. Looking behind, urging a very critical question: “do I regret doing this?” No one can argue that this action involved plenty of sacrifices, and enclosed on a vast range of bumps. One of the sacrifices is having a home sickness feeling; I daydream Egypt. Egypt’s love in my heart is irrevocable. It is my home country; the land of secrets and wonders; the land that witnessed my growth, all my cheerful moments, all my griefs, and all my memories. I am carving its picture- not only in my memory, but also in my soul. I am eager to lay eyes on every inch, and every corner in Egypt. I have an overwhelming desire to eye my house there, my past schools, even the streets I was walking in. Another sacrifice is leaving my family; I indeed miss my family. I have never had the chance to see my sister’s sons in real. Watching them on Skype puts me in deep sorrow. I wish if I can hold them, and eye their smiles. Also, I wish

if I can sit by my sister again in our little room, and chat about our little room. One more sacrifice is leaving behind all what you earned after years of hard work. In the same type, trying to adjust yourself in an unknown community is a burdensome, and a crucial obstacle as well. Though, despite of all of this, on the other hand, in this current beautiful place I started a family of my own for the first time; I met my husband, and gave birth to my children; and here stays all what I own in life. Thus we are sharing recent memories in this current place. I am putting these memories deep in the heart beside the old ones. Therefore, when I consider my life here- in the USA in general, and in Arizona in particular, I realize that I am blessed. I adore my life here in Arizona, and enjoying everything in it. Certainly, no life can pass without difficulties and griefs; however, I appreciate what I have, and thank God for making it possible. I believe that every place has its own points of weakness and points of strength, and; hopefully, by exploring myself to such a variety, I can build a unique personality, and provide a brand-new taste to my life. Therefore, I appreciate this opportunity, and I am planning on obtaining the most benefits of it, despite of the obstacles.
