Play

  The importance of Play and outdoor activities for children with disabilities: Exploring Nature, Building Connections, and Celebrating Every Ability by Sarah Elgohary | Capable Companions   From infancy, children rely on parents, caregivers, and educators to develop essential life skills. Learning through play fosters cognitive, social, and motor development (Gavin, 2022). As they grow, schools become their primary environment for socialization, shaping their understanding of the world. However, for students with disabilities, these spaces often present obstacles rather than opportunities.  Education is meant to foster reasoning, communication, and engagement with society. Yet, only 65 percent of students with disabilities graduate from high school, compared to 86 percent of students without disabilities (United Way of the Battle Creek and Kalamazoo Region, n.d.).  ### Learning Beyond the Classroom   Outdoor activities give children with disabilities ...

The Shining Star: My Journey

The Shining Star: My Journey I Love My Family By Sarah Elgohary Preface: What Do We Desire Most in Life? What do peoletsre most in their lives? Do we desire religion, love, attention, technology, money, fame, intelligence, or peace? Perhaps we simply want friendship and acceptance. We want to feel that we belong in this world and that people apprecworked for who we hardty often creates standards about what is considered “normal.” People who are different or unique can sometimes be treated as outsiders simply because they do not fit society’s expectations. But what does “normal” really mean? There is no single definition of normal. What is normal for one person may not be normal for another. Every individual has a different personality, different abilities, different experiences, dreams, goals, and ways of seeing the world. People with disabilities are sometimes underestimated because others see the disability before they see the person. Yet having a disability does not mean that a pers...

How to fix homeless

  Alhamdulillah I have a house but I want to talk about a serious issue of homeless and affordable housing.Affordable pandemic worsened many of the economic and social conditions associated with homelessness. According to *Homelessness in America: Overview of Data and Causes*, major causes of homelessness among unaccompanied individuals include a lack of affordable housing, unemployment, poverty, mental illness and the lack of needed services, and substance abuse and the lack of needed services. These causes demonstrate that homelessness cannot be understood as the result of one individual problem. Instead, homelessness is a complex social issue influenced by economic conditions, social institutions, public policies, employment opportunities, housing availability, and individual circumstances. There are many problems in society that people tend to examine only at face value. However, to understand why society operates the way it does, people must look beneath the surface and examin...

Everyone can learn

 Come@ to this wonderful evening celebrating everyone with disabilities and unique talents. Please come support Safeena Foundation. Everyone can learn, grow, empower others, and advocate for educational equality for people with disabilities. I wrote this paper to support Safeena Foundation. Malcolm X once said, “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today” (Bailey). Education is the foundation for personal and societal growth, equipping individuals to think critically, solve problems, and navigate the world. Yet, despite its transformative power, access to quality education remains unequal—especially for students with disabilities. Every child deserves an education that nurtures their potential, but systemic barriers continue to limit opportunities for disabled students. To create a truly equitable society, we must ensure all students, regardless of ability, receive the accommodations, resources, and support they need to thrive an...

Bridging the educational experience around the world

 Malcolm X once said, “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today” (Bailey).

Free Palestine

 ✊🏽 Stop the Genocide in Palestine – A Global Call for Justice 🕊️ Every day, I wake up heartbroken, angry, and frustrated. We live in a world that claims to cherish freedom of speech and human rights, yet we continue to witness the massacre of innocent people in Palestine — and the world remains silent. The truth is deliberately ignored, distorted, or buried beneath headlines that depict Palestinians as aggressors rather than victims of decades-long violence and occupation. **Palestinians Are Not Terrorists — They Are Human Beings** Palestinians are not extremists. They are families, children, teachers, doctors, and students — human beings defending their right to exist in their homeland. The media tends to focus on Hamas, reducing the entire Palestinian population to a single narrative while ignoring the tens of thousands of innocent civilians, including over 40,000 children, who have been killed since October 7. This is not about religion or revenge. This is ethnic cleansing. T...

Egypt

 Egypt had a strong case for winning the game. The issue of racism needs to be addressed. FIFA's decision seems biased against a Muslim country. The third goal was not a foul. I support Egypt and believe justice should prevail. I condemn any form of supremacy.
