My new novel

 

 please read my story.

The jewel of destiny is Crystal


 What do people desire the most in their lives? Do people want religion, love, attention, technology, money, fame, intelligence, or peace, or human connections? We are social creatures who crave intimacy and we need to form relationships. Some relationships create deep connections, which allow people to build trust and mutual love that form bonds that can lead to many different types of important relationships such as friendship, as marriage work, to motivate others they have a need to be wanted by others. It is human nature. I think people have a desire to fight for an important cause or stand up for what they believe is right, and make a difference in the world to help people .This is in order to find meaning in their lives to inspire people to leave legacies behind to inspire young people to come together to bring the most positive change that they want to see in this world. In addition, maybe people just want friends to feel as if they belong in this world. I believe that a meaningful purpose is essential to motivate individuals towards their goals. Therefore, people can use Islam as guidance to overcome fear loneliness and laziness by defeating negative emotions by allowing a positive attitude to be the driving force that determines how people live their lives to the fullest, so that they can focus on what they love in order to discover their full potential as the best people they can be. In addition, maybe people just want friends to feel as if they belong in this world. Therefore, do people just want others to like them for who they really are as individuals in their own way knowing that they are accepted in society? On the other hand, people can admire a person for standing up for what they believe in, in order to fight for justice, to make a difference and change the world. The truth is nobody knows what the answer is to what people desire the most out of life. Is it possible for people to desire too much out of life? As a result, the desires of the human heart are too irresistible to control. Although, the most important aspect to remember is how people use their hearts' desires to impact the world. Every person has a very unique personality with different interests, along with his or her own dreams and goals to achieve in life. As a result, it is impossible to tell what each person desires in this world. This is a mystery that has eluded mankind since the dawn of time. As a result, this makes some people’s minds wander deep inside their souls to seek the potential they have to make their talents blossom into something great that they can offer the world. This is in order to make a difference and help change the world for the better of humanity during their lifetime. The mystery of what mankind desires most out of their subconscious minds, hearts, and souls is the unsolved. This is why people fantasize. Fantasies make the world seem like a better place to live because the subconscious mind does not have any limitations. This leads people to dream of their desires that they want to make into a reality. Most people dream of a perfect world! Do you imagine a perfect world where all of your heart’s desires can come true?


     This is impossible, right? You would think a person would have to die and go to heaven to find out what happens after death? Well, you are wrong because all you have to do is dive into the perfect world of Ethiopia to find what your heart desires at the instant you wish for it. Then here your opportunity just sink your mind into the world of Ethiopia to discover your heart’s desires and purpose in life through a magical love story between an ordinary girl named Crystal who becomes an immortal and Jake. Crystal falls in love with her best friend Jake, who is a soul reaper hunter only to realize that Jake was always her true love. After being put under a spell this causes her to fall in love with an evil sorceress named Danny who created the soul reaper’s race.


               


 

 










Chapter 1


The transition of fate from ordinary life to my Destiny 


I will start from the beginning of my story . The day my life changed forever,I was happy until my dad died and I realized he was king. I was a princess of the crystal kingdom.Did you ever feel like you did not fit in your own family . As if the life you live is not supposed to be the way it is ? Or your parents are not really who they say they are? Everything changed when my father passed .away. The world is always selfish, but I have become so strong I will change the world. I discovered that love is powerful. People who you thought you knew are selfish. Some friends are true. Other people are not true friends, they fizzle out of touch with you and I discovered that my friends are completely different individuals. People drift apart all the time . Normally society would say that people lose touch on a daily basis ,but what if the person you love most in the world, your own mother who raised you and was always there for you whenever you needed her was not actually own mother .but a friend and loyal guard hired by your biological mother Fatima Amelia Elgohary queen of the crystal kingdom.


The world was safe and peaceful, pure and untouched by violence such as war, racism, diseases, world hunger, and the evil qualities of the human heart. The sky was blue with not a single speck of darkness, just light from the sun shined with hope as it rose above the horizon. There was a small quiet house on the Far West Coast of California, in Hollywood in front of the beach. Despite living in Hollywood, I live with my family, and my life is very ordinary. I go to school for acting, directing and writing. I have family and friends. The only thing I was missing was romantic love, but the only person who I have ever felt a connection with and developed feelings for is my best friend Jake who I have known since I was eleven. I have always been in love with him, but I was too afraid to tell him the truth until one day he left for the army when we found out about the soul reapers invasion.


 Ever since that day my life changed forever, I remember it as if it was yesterday. I was 12 years old playing with my toys when it happened.? Little did I know the soul reapers were after me for my powers.? Suddenly, I felt a chill down the back of my spine. I started shivering so I went to close the window. As I reached for the window sill, I looked out stunned to see a very dark, mysterious, ominous, cloud descending over the town. Then suddenly, a fog came over me as if everyone was frozen, and an evil spirit's eyes were piercing through my soul as if he had control of me. I felt like I was a helpless girl in a good horror movie just waiting to be rescued by my knight in shining armor. Some heroine I turned out to be—granted I was only six years old. People say children are innocent, but what I know is that adults do not even realize that innocence of children gives people power, endurance, and inner strength. The fire of the fighting spirit that burns deep within your soul, the will to live life never give up without a fight no matter what happens in life. The fire was burning deep within me that I never even realize it exists my will of fire to survive. The spirit and motivation everyone has in their soul to achieve their dreams in life did not even know you had until I was in danger r. It also gave me a new foundation to believe in myself and stand up to fight even though I was terrified, I wanted to run. If I did run Shadow, the soul reaper would kill my family and me.

 I had to stop him even if I was dreaming. I said, “Hey you, my name is Crystal. What do you want from me? Who are you? Leave my family alone.”


 He said, “I want to corrupt the pure light of your soul to turn you into my slave. “


 I am Shadow the “soul reaper.


 Are you going to come with me willingly or will I have to take you by force? You choose! ”


  Crystal said,” I choose to stay here! I will never let you take my soul! As long as there is breath in my body I will not let you hurt my family and friends!” He was coming fast. “Stay away from me. Leave me alone.” I screamed as he was about to touch me. “Go away!” I shielded my face with my hands. Then a light beamed from my hands and began to overflow through my body. Then suddenly I had an arrow of light aiming to shoot Shadow. I shot it at his body and perched his soul. The last words were “impossible how I could be defeated by an ordinary human







    

Chapter 1


The transition of fate from ordinary life to destiny:


    The world was safe and peaceful, pure and not corrupt with violence such as war, racism, diseases, world hunger, and the evil qualities of the human heart. The sky was blue with not a single speck of darkness, just light from the sun shined with hope as it rose above the horizon. There was a small quiet house on the Far West Coast of California, in Hollywood in front of the beach. Despite, living in Hollywood I live with my family, and my life, is very ordinary. I go to school for acting, directing and writing. I have my déen family and friends my blog looking for my purpose to get to janñah

   What do people desire the most in their lives? Do people want religion, love, attention, technology, money, fame, intelligence, or peace? In addition, maybe people just want friends to feel as if they belong in this world. Therefore, do people just want others to like them for who they really are as individuals? Even though, the fundamentals principles of society have outcasts individuals who are very different, unique “out of the ordinary “people who are not classified as normal by the judgmental stereotypical superficial standards of society, just because some people adapt to their environment and work ( In different ways or in a variety of ways uniquely suited to them example people with disabilities or people with uniquely different special hidden abilities that the majority of the supposedly “normal” unaccustomed people cannot see due to their lack of awareness and the willful ignorance ) This does not mean that these people are not normal. The lack of awareness and the willful ignorance many people have is turning our once great meritocracy into a downward spiral of disappointment, unequally of gender, race, work, education, social class statues, and uneven distribution of wealth around the world which leads to global poverty. America is losing money, products, power, resources, fast pretty soon America will not the strongest nation In the world America will become a third world country. People need to act more progressively instead of over analyzing problems and trying to be the “Hero” by helping to solve the problems of other nations like Egypt, Iraq and China while America does not even attempt to solve Its own problems.. We need to work together in order to solve the problems we face in our society and then we can fix the world’s problems. It is hard not impossible. The nation can get back on track. America needs to stop lowering the goals, standards, expectations of youth and individuals who reach for the starts dream big... The world we live in is not normal, but then again what is normal anyway? There Is no such thing as normal everyone has his or her own version of normal what is normal for one person In everyday life might not be normal for me or you so therefore people are all normal In their own personal perspective so be who you are or who you want to be free have fun. Do not give into peer pressure you are your own person unique and special Individuals in your own way know that they are accepted in society. On the other hand, people can admire a person for standing up for what they believe in, in order to fight for justice, to make a difference and change the world. The truth is nobody knows what the answer is to what people desire the most out of life. Is it possible for one person to desire too much out of life? As a result, the desires of the human heart are too irresistible to control. Although, the most important aspect to remember is how people use their hearts desires to impact the world. Every person has a very unique personality with different interests, along with his or her own, dreams and goals to achieve in life.

Chapter 2

The revelation of purpose:


    Ever since I have always wondered what my purpose in life was. I wonder whether I belong in this world. I believe that everything happens for a reason. Then, what was the reason for me spending all my summer watching Japanese amines, going on Facebook to talk to a friend in New Jersey who went to college today? I have not seen her in more than two years. In addition, to writing this fantasy story, I know it has potential to become a best seller one day. As a result, I am hoping my novel will be made into a movie, which will make me famous someday. This novel will be the way I help make a difference in people’s lives, instead of being a burden on everyone I have known throughout my life. Besides that, my summer has been the most boring summer of my life. I tried to apply to Nassau today. I could not focus on anything today because all I had on my mind was the nightmare. It is the same which I have been having over and over again for the last couple of months.






Chapter 3 – The birth of darkness:

It was a sunny morning in the town of Ethiopia. Even though I had the same nightmare of a tall skinny man chasing me down a dark alley with a knife in his hand. Just then he grabbed me and put the knife in front of my neck. I was so scared, I could not breathe. I thought this was the end for me. Then I screamed “Stop!! Let me go!, Wwho you are?” 

 “I am a soul reaper. My name is Shadow. “ He said, “I will“He would not stop until you are I was dead. Bbefore you canI could fulfil yourl my destiny as the chosen one. There were more of them coming, an army, of soul reapers. Tand there iswas nowhere to hide.” 

Shadow’s eyes were a deep ominous red. He had a strong, mysterious will that I could somehow feel his hypnotic hold on my body. It was so strong that he pulled me to him. I tried to run, but I could not move my body. It was as if he had control over my soul by seeking my deepest darkest fear of dying and losing the people I love the most Jake. I was terrified beyond belief. I never imagined I would die like this . My heart was racing and I was losing all hope. My life was flashing before my eyes, images of my family and everything I held dear to my heart, flashed before my eyes like an old movie on a projector.  

Then suddenly, I saw a bright light shining through the alley. It blinded me for only a second, but was weakening Shadow as it intensified was weakening by the intensified light. When I got to my feet I saw this boy with green eyes, long blond hair, and curly. His smile was sweet, innocent, and protective as if he was happy to see me. I felt relieved with joy as if I knew what we had been an unbreakable bond I could not explain. I ran to meet him, but he disappeared as if he was never even there. Did I imagine this whole entire story? What did it mean? Who was he? Am I the chosen one destined to save the world? Why me of all the people in this world? The shock must have awakened me. The dream seemed so real like I was actually there. It is funny how a dream is a message of your subconscious mind trying to reveal something even you are unaware of.

After that dream, the last thing I wanted was to go to school and listen to boring lectures from my teachers about how to have a productive, but fun summer .Be practical get a job. You need to be active. Play sports keep fit .Perform as many useful activities to keep you busy and help people getting involved in community organizations. Do not just wallow around in your own self-pity, watching television all day, or go on Facebook. You need to make the best of your young lives, while they last by going to beach with your family, and hanging out with friends. You can also start writing in a journal, to record your feelings about the days so you are able to express yourself and make memories of a lifetime.

 Instead, I got out of bed feeling shocked and excited from as a result of the dream I had. I went to open the window to let the warm orange rays of the bright sun in, reflecting a new vision of hope. The touch of the sun had a warm sweet feel on my skin. It made me forget all about the stress of my nightmare. I looked out the window; the wind whistled a very soft and peaceful melody through the trees a very soft peaceful melody. The sky was crystal clear. You could hear birds singing happily in perfect harmony. The grass was tall, bright and green. The children were playing hide and seek with cheer and laughter. If you listened closely you couldan hear the rhythm of the ocean waves moving back and forth in an endless life cycle. T. Finally, the last touch to finish this beautiful scene rywas is that I could see my mother‘s flower garden. The flowers were very colorful., which was The garden is full of dDaises, rRoses, jJasmines, and Oorchids .I tried to use this peace and quiet to clear my mind of all negative thoughts. All I could think about was my wonderful summer of opportunity to have fun and hangout with my friends. At least that is what I thought until I found out my mom applied for a job over the summer and I had to stay home to take care of brothers. In other words, a boring summer of watching television, and writing a fantasy love story soon to become a very famous book and eventually made into a famous movie some day with cute and successful actors like Taylor Lautner to express myself. I know there is more to my life than this I see myself doing so more to lead a healthy lifestyle. I feel like I have so much potential to help people, be famous, and fight for what’ I believe is right. Nevertheless, I was happy school was over.

 I always thought there was something missing in my life, but I had no idea what it was. It seemed as if I had everything a person could ever want a loving family, a home, friends, an education, a talent, and potential to help peoplee in order to change the world . Except love, the romantic kind, although I am only sixteen years old, far too young to know about that, but I am curious. The only person who came close to being the one was my best friend Jake who may be more than just a friend. I was always comfortable around him. He was sweet, sensitive, protective, friendly, and supportive. He had green eyes gold curly hair, tall, and muscular. I did not realize how much I had been thinking about him. I had not seen Jake in five years since sent his father him to military school at age eleven. I wonder how much he has changed. I decide to write him a letter I still had two hours before school started so I sat on my desk with a pen and started writing. There was so much I wanted to tell him:


Dear Jake,

This is Crystal your best friend.s Hhow are you? How is life? I miss you so much I wish things could go back to the way they were. I have so much to tell you, but I do not where to start. I wish you here with me. it I am so lonely without you by my side. There is something I have to tell you—I I think you are the one. I love you, Jake. I hope you feel the same way. I want to see you, Are you coming back soon? I will be waiting for you. Today is the last day of school. There is one more thing, are soul reapers real because I had a nightmare of one chasing me down with a knife to kill me and someone named Danny saved me. Shadow said He will be back with more he will never stop until I am dead.” Jake if you have something to tell me please do not be afraid to tell me. Pplease, I trust you! Do you trust me?

Write back soon love. Crystal


After I finished my letter, I got dressed for school. I put on my nice white sun dress with yellow, pink, orange, roses in the center It said “ peace love, hope ,live, laugh and play.” It was cotton, so it was comfortable along with it I wore my black stretch pants. I put Jake’s letter in an envelope and hurried to the post office to drop it off. Then I headed for school., I was hoping not to be late on the last day of school, so I did not have breakfast. I decided to stay positive and enjoy the last day of school with my friends as Ms. Anna Maria told me. It was actually really fun my friends and I discussed our summer plans. The class had an ice cream party to celebrate our achievements and this year my graduating friend Cara was graduating. PlusIn addition, all my friends took pictures with me. Finally, Ms. Anna Maria gave me a bejeweled scrap book filled with all my favorite memories of junior year. She made it herself .She is a really good artist. In addition, I was happy school was over, I went to my locker to get my books and where I was surprised to find a red rose with a love note that said,” I knew I would find you it is destiny! We were meant for each other! I am the boy you met in the alley, my name is Danny.” Meet me in the alley after school”. When I got home there was a letter from Jake on the porch, it had a heart on it. 















Chapter 4

The heart desire:


I opened it; my heart was pounding anxiously to hear from him. I read it. 

Dear Crystal,

 I am fine you do not have to worry about me. Are you ok? I miss you; I want to see you. I am coming to visit soon. I love you too, I always have, but I was too afraid to tell you. By the way, soul reapers are real. An army is approaching. My friends and I have been training to fight them for five years. They want to take over the world by using mind control to find out with their dark power of mind control over the deepest fears in people’s hearts and then. In order to corrupt their souls and turn the human race into the soul reapers’ slaves of the soul reapers race. Crystal, you are the chosen one, you are the only one who can stop the soul reapers from destroying the world. You have powers of telepathy, mind reading a person’s aura, (energy of the soul). You have the power to control people emotions, and to see the strength and weaknesses of a bond between people. In addition, Crystal, my dear you have healing abilities. Be careful. Shadow is after you to demolish your powers. I will protect you with my life do not worry. I will be there soon. Wait for me. I cannot wait to see you. I was the one who saved you that night in alley and sent you the love note, it was not just a dream, and there is no Danny? Was It a vision of future? I am sorry I did not tell you sooner, I was trying to protect you! With all my heart you are my soul mate Crystal. 

I love you JAKE! HUGS AND KISSES!

I paused amazed at how much he was hiding from me all these years granted, he thought he was protecting me. How am I supposed to save the world? Well I said, “I want adventure in my life here it is!” Then fear of the soul reapers over whelmed my entire body and I was down with my head between my knees, I was shaking vigorously with anxiety, suddenly crying and wishing Jake was here with me. Because I do not what he looks like?  

Then I decided to the beach to stop feeling sorry for myself. Jake will come when he comes. I am going to listen to Ms. Anna Maria advice and have fun. She was my favorite teacher Mrs. Anne Maria she was always inspiring me to see the possibilities, follow my dreams and work hard to make them come true. Finally, she always told me that “You haveI had to believe in yourmyself, trust yourmy heart, and stand out of the crowd to make a difference in world in order to be who you want to be in life. “ You must never give up without a fight.” What she said was true Nevertheless, I was happy school was over. I did not want to wallow in my own self-pity until Jake came for me.

 Then I was shocked as I realized I had an epiphany. Wait a minute; I was very confused Iif Jake was the one who saved me in the alley, . wWhy did he run away from me when I ran to meet him in the alley? I do not know who Danny is? Then I was shocked as I realized I had an epiphany. Wait a minute; I was very confused if Jake was the one who saved me in the alley. Why did he run away from me when I ran to meet him in the alley? I do not know who Danny is? Did he exist? If Jake was the one who saved me in the alley, all along then who was the person who left the love note in my locker?. MaybeI wonder if I could go to the alley and meet this person and find out the truth once and for all. Maybe Danny did exist, but Jake did not want to tell me because they are mortal enemies. He must have been hiding this from me all this time because he thought if I found out it would create a lot of tension between them and they would fight over me!   

Should I really waste my time trying to find someone that might not even be real? I only have this love note for proof and maybe it was just a random guy at school who likes me, but he was too afraid to admit that he likes me. On the other hand, maybe not after all life is about risks. You have to take hold of an opportunity when you get it because when you do take a chance you might be able to make your dreams come true. If I wait too long and Danny does exist then I will miss my opportunity to meet him and I will regret it. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I would not let fear control my life. I decided that I am going him so I put on my shoes and my backpack and ran to the door. It was very sunny. I tried to retrace my step and memories of that night.

I remember that the alley was very long and narrow. It must have been a neighbor and there was a lot of crime because there were many cracks in the wall along with graffiti. I am walking through the alley. This town is known is being mysterious. It was dark and I was scared as I was re-experiencing my memories of that horrible night. The dream is starting to feel like a reality than a fantasy. It was very quiet. I am still walking through the alley when I heard a noise as if there was a fight somewhere nearby and somehow I have a feeling I am going to meet the victim. I leaned against the wall walking to the corner then I turned    around the corner and I running


Please draft one narrative based on ALL of the following statements:

Thoroughly discuss a current social issue that is relevant to social work practice and fostered or confirmed your interest in the social work profession. You also may mention additional reasons for deciding to pursue graduate social work study at this time. 

Discuss your career interests and/or objectives and how you plan to take advantage of the resources at Fordham University’s Graduate School of Social Service to support you in your goals. 

There are many people who have inspired me to discover my passion for helping others through social work. Through the social work program at Molloy College I want to become a counselor and make a difference in the world is by turning my individual situation of having cerebral palsy into solutions that can create a path of advocacy for people who do not have a voice in society enabling them to be confident in their own identity. Having a physical disability of cerebral palsy, I am more empathetic to the fact that some people perform tasks in diverse ways. My experience with cerebral palsy provides me with a unique sense of empathy for those who are disabled .and any individuals who need to discover the power of their own voice as tools to enable them to communicate their messages and experiences in life without fear to make society aware of problems without creating fear and violence. I am more empathetic to those in different situations, As a counselor, or social worker I want to guide people to become powerful individuals despite their circumstances. As a result there are many issues that emphasize people needing a voice to advocate for themselves and become powerful individuals who stand up for what they believe in. One issue that is important to me is the global problems of Syrian refugees and the Syrian Civil War. I want advocate for Syrian Refugees and any group of people of who cannot fight for themselves and help individual discover their inner power to make people aware of their circumstances and amplify their voice and their messages to the world. 


Immigration and turmoil are “hot topics” that resurface in every presidential election. Although, many other American presidents who have taken discriminatory actions against certain minority groups, for example, such as internment camps for the Japanese in World War II, Donald J. Trump, the current United States president, is islamophobic to such an extent that he proposed a travel ban against seven majority Muslim nations, which was found unconstitutional by a federal judge, in an attempt to stop an entire race of people (Muslims) from entering the U.S. because he assumes that all Muslims are terrorists. He is so nationalistic that he and is determined to persist with a new ban even though the previous one was blocked. In addition, Donald Trump is so xenophobic that he managed to persuade the Supreme Court to approve parts of the travel ban after the Supreme Court denied it several times without a constitutional hearing which is supposed to happen in October . He is committed to this unjustified action because he fails to make the distinction between the majority of Muslims who practice the peaceful religion of Islam and a small minority of politically motivated radical extremists who kill their own kind. Amid all the islamophobic hysteria, the United States is trying to deal with an unprecedented number of Syrian refugees coming into the country, who are trying to escape the Syrian Civil War. Although we are called upon to act, our political parties are very polarized; some do not believe that the United States should play much of a role in helping refugees, directly or indirectly. Congress is extremely divided on this issue of whether to assist Syrian refugees. The only way to solve this humanitarian crisis is if Western nations and the world come together, regardless of their differences. One approach to ending this crisis would be to create solutions through a worldwide collaboration of countries sponsored by the United Nations. However, in order to find solutions to address the social barriers faced by Syrian refugees, Islamophobia must be overcome. Even though Islamophobia is no t the direct cause of the crisis, it is still a strong barrier to finding solutions to this social problem. 

In order to understand the severity and the extent of this humanitarian crisis, we need to create a context in which people can study the history of Syria. This allows people to discover what factors led to the Syrian refugee crisis. As a result, people need to analyze the roots of the Syrian refugee crisis, because Syrian refugees are a result of the Syrian civil war. There are many causes of the Syrian civil war, which was inspired by the revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya (the Arab Spring in 2011). Similar to the nations that were part of the Arab Spring, many Syrians wanted to overthrow the dictatorial Assad regime due to the lack of freedoms and economic woes, which fueled public anger and resentment of the Syrian government. Conflict began with anti-government protests that divided Syrian citizens into two groups. One group remained loyal to their President Bashar al-Assad, while the other group opposed Assad’s regime and fought for democracy in Syria (BBC News 2016). However, the conflict escalated to a civil war when peaceful protests for Assad to resign turned violent during an incident where 15 boys were detained and tortured for having written graffiti in support of the Arab Spring. One of the boys, 13-year-old Hamza al-Khateeb, was killed after having been brutally tortured ("Syria's Civil War Explained", 2016). President Assad responded to the protests by killing hundreds of demonstrators and imprisoning many more. In July 2011, military officials formed a rebel group, named the Free Syrian Army, which called to overthrow the government; this eventually morphed into a full scale civil war. ("Syria's Civil War Explained", 2016). 

Although it is important to analyze the causes of the refugee crisis from its source, the Syrian Civil War, people cannot look at this crisis from only one angle. However, in order to truly understand this crisis, people have to be like sociologists and peel away the layers individually, in order to see where the problems are really located and find solutions. As a result, we need to look at all of the different aspects of this conflict in order to solve this problem. Moreover, this is why it is crucial to study the perspectives of how countries around the world and western nations, such as the United States, are dealing with the refugee crisis. Therefore, people need to understand the United States’ relationship to this crisis and their policies on how we see the conflict in Syria as part of the equation to find solutions and solve the crisis. So that other nations who can help are not afraid to speak up for themselves and make a difference in the world. Western nations have a capitalist ideology, which makes a majority of people react to foreign problems with indifference, and hostility. This is the case with the Syrian refugees because people in Western nations do not realize that they have a false consciousness about issues that do not directly affect them. They do not react to facts, or problems, that do not fit into their personal worldview (Rizzo, 2016) As a result, it is important to know how to frame Syrian refugees and the refugee crisis in positive ways in order to find solutions. Furthermore, Islamophobia is creating a fear of Syrian refugees as terrorists, causing the problem to get worse rather than being solved. In reality, in order to solve the refugee crisis, people need to stop hiding behind their fear of terrorism and islamophobia to understand that the majority of Syrian refugees actually are innocent people who are escaping their countries because of conflict. After all, refugees should not be seen as terrorists but as innocent people in need of protection. Therefore, people need to change how they view refugees because the only way to solve the refugee crisis is to correctly identify the roots of the problem which not only lie in Islamophobia, but also how refugees are depicted. Generally, people identify refugees as people who need protection and a safe place to live not as terrorists. However, Syrian refugees are assumed terrorists rather than innocent people. If Western nations view the Syrian refugees the same as other refugees the world could find solutions for crisis. This approach would be the right and ideal one instead of our current approach of banning innocent Syrian refugees because they are falsely being lumped into the same category as terrorists, which is only stalling and escalating the problem. 

I wrote a research paper on Syrian refugees. My extensive research on Syrian refugees makes want to advocate for them and become an ambassador for the United Nations idealistically. I want to help people my extensive research on Syrian refugees makes me realize that I want to take action. Not only do I want to become a therapist to help people with their problems, but I also want to become an activist to advocate for people who feel like they are powerless. This advocating is not limited to people with disabilities, but all people who need a voice because society has muffled their sound with unfounded discrimination. As a result, ever since I was in seventh grade I knew that I wanted to help people and give back to the people who have helped me grow up by becoming a counselor and I can make a difference in the world; by turning my individual problem into solutions that can create a path of advocacy for people who do not have a voice in. I realize that I cannot stop all conflict, but at least as a counselor I can use my voice to help people gain their voices and provide them the knowledge to be comfortable with their own ability to prevent conflict and violence and to fight fear refugees. 

My passion for fighting for Syrian refugees coming from not only my research, but the realization that there is a significantly unfounded fear and Islamophobia, which is completely unnecessary because society does not know or understand the fundamentals of beliefs of the religion of Islam as a result people need a new cultural education of Islam. As a counselor, I want to make people aware of how peaceful Muslims actually are. This is because even though islamophobia is not the cause of the Syrian refugee crisis people like Donald Trump who used fear mongering tactics to win the election by creating more Islamophobia and fear of Muslims and Syrian refugees only in still more fear escaling the problem not solving it . Fear is making the Syrian refugee crisis significantly worst because a majority of American are so consumed by Islamophobia fear that they do not see It as a deterrent to society hearing the perspectives of Syrian refugees and anyone who Is considered different by society preventing people from coming together as a community to solve problems. As a counselor, I will do my best to create an environment that does not instill fear or any negative emotions in my patients because society already has stiminga on people who have therapy. As a result, I want to make people comfortable to talk freely without any judgment. In addition I want people to realize that they do not have to be afraid to speak up and communicate their message because every voice truly matters. Therefore as a therapist I will enable people to find their voice because every Individual has their own unique voice but it will not be heard unless you have the courage speak stand up for what you believe and never hesitate because you are afraid of society judgments furthermore people need to realize there is nothing to fear but fear Itself because you are the only one with the power to convey your voice and experience to the world I want to empower people with these skills confidence self advocacy finding their Identities by giving people access to the resources they need to be heard.  

Society tends to cast out individuals who are different, and not every individual has to conform to social norms or standards in the same ways in order to be “normal”. From a young age, I learned that in order to reach my goals, I must employ different methods compared to others and put in more effort and dedication because it may take me longer to complete tasks, but that does not mean that I cannot achieve my goals in life. Though tasks could take longer, it allows me to pay more attention to details and gives me a higher sense of satisfaction when I do achieve them. Therefore, people who are not classified as “normal” by the general population are normal in their own ways. Just because some people have to adapt to work in different ways does not mean that they are not capable of accomplishing their goals in order to become successful members of society. 

During my internship at Abilities, I spent a day in business communications and helped students with their resumes and cover letters. I was able to advocate for the students and highlight the qualities that made them stand out as individuals. This internship also helped me realize that I want to become a therapist to help people with their problems, and an activist who advocates for people who feel like they are powerless. This advocating is not limited to people with disabilities, but extends to all people who need a voice, because they are unfairly judged by society. I am a very open person and love to talk to people to express myself. As a result, I hope to make people comfortable talking about a variety of topics so we can alleviate their frustrations together. On the other hand, I know there is a stigma of attending therapy, so I want to create an environment where people feel safe and comfortable to fully express themselves. I will listen to their frustrations as a friend, if they just need someone to talk to.  

     I believe through social work program at Molloy college can provide me with the skills necessary to foster my development as a force for making people understand themselves so they can reach their full potential and influence others to do the same. Through the social work program at Molloy College I want to enhance my skills as an empathetic advocate for people, and help individuals by creating with approaches unique to their situations. I know how good it feels to have someone believe that you have the ability to make a difference, and bring out your full potential, so as a result I want to enlighten people so that they embrace their differences and highlight the qualities that make them better people. I can achieve this by using my social skills and ability to fully attach myself to something I’m passionate about to fully invest in the success of my patients. Counseling is about making connections with people, and my patience, dedication, and genuine passion make me an ideal counselor.













































































 So I went to the beach after school .I ran so fast out the door, I thought my friend Jake was finally here and he followed me out, to surprise me. When I turned around to see him after five years, I ran to touch him but he vanished. None of it was real Iit was an allusion but, it seemed so real I could see his face was so near. It felt as if Jake was right there in front of me. ,His smile was soft, sweet, and warm his teeth are so white we were so close and he was finally back from the army. Aalthough he was only sixteen, . hHis father forced him into the military fearingin fear that the soul reapers would invade the peaceful town of Ethiopia. Then I felt a cold chill of excitement go down my spine and I was delirious. I could hear Jake saying, . He said” HI Crystal! I miss you I thought about you every day, there is something I need to tell you “. But before he could say anything I grabbed his strong hands and hugged him so tightly and said,”. “I missed you too. “ Then he vanished at my touch, I was so lonely without you I love you”. I surprised myself when I said that I guess I never I realized that I was so passionate about Jake. I knew I missed him we had a very strong bond, but I really love Jake we had done everything together when we were little. The dream and the love note I forgot it was an allusion Danny green eyes were so clear as if they were right in front of me at that instant I looked at Jake. Their eyes were identical, almost the same shade of green may be there was no Danny maybe it was Jake all along, maybe Jake was the one who saved me that night in the alley. Was he the one who wrote the love note? Was Jake my soul mate? Was the message of my dream about love or my destiny? I could not think there were too many thoughts in my head. Suddenly I felt dizzy, my heart was beating so fast I ran as fast as I could to the beach to clear my head ,but before I knew it I was down on my knees crying. Was there a soul reaper following me? 

The beach was peaceful, I watched children playing innocently with their friends. The ocean waves were calm, the sun was shining. Inside, I was frustrated, and I was scared the soul reapers were after me.me, and I did not know what to do. I was always stressing out worrying about life, college, my family and the world. The most ironic aspect of life is that there are no guarantees in life, so I really do not know why I work so hard. I mean I know I have goals and dreams that I want to achieve in life, but so does every other human being on earth so what makes me any different. Oh yeah, I am supposed to the save the world andto make it a better, place not questionned it. This is a test I cannot fail even if it is hard, I will not give up. My hard work and goods deeds will pay off someday when the world is saved. So why does everyone have faith in me,? b But I have no faith in myself? This vacation is almost over and I have not done anything. I need to relax and clear my head. I if what I am laid my beach blanket on the sand I lied down I put my hands behind my `head closed my eyes and started to think about my purpose in life other than religion. What is the point of trying when there are no guarantees in life? I guess if you do not try to reach your goals in life, you will never discover whatfind out your talent to offer the world is. You will never be able to accomplish your goals and dreams to help make the world a better place to live for future generation to come. I cannot give up just because it seems hard now if I give up on humanity now humanity they will give up on me and the world end up in total darkness because I was too afraid to try. I look up to people not only because of their gifts but the reasons behind them their determination and inspiration, people’s talent can start with small acts of kindness can influence a single person to focus on what is right in the world instead of what is wrong in the world. People need to band together to stop this war, stop killing innocent people, stop being racist and getting more money for charity to help stop poverty. In addition this war doesn’t make any sense every politician said we are in this war over oil and to stop terrorist especially the Taliban but that doesn’t mean at /all people of the Muslim faith are evil and so many innocent people are dying maybe I am still young and naivenaïve and to think that the world can be at peace with no problems of what` so ever we can run on solar power instead of that gasoline to prevent global warming and poverty and people spend more money on food and shelter for the homeless and poor. Then the poor people will become working class citizens less people will be unemployed less foreclosure home which will make the economy better. I am too young homes fainted. I lied down stretching my arms and legs so far, I closed my eyes. “ I needed to clear my head and relax. I was always worrying about other people problems instead of my own problem. I hate routine but I would have nothing to forward to if there was no routine. Sometimes it gets really boringboring, there areis no sparks. Some people always travel or get involved in community organizations to some useful. They have aActives to the past the time. They Some people are always busy and y; they complain that they never have time to relax. I am the opposite,e way aside from school I do not have any other activities over the summer. I just wish I had something to look forward to something out of the ordinary that I was not expecting to have like traveling the world, going to summer camp. Why can’t I ever enjoy life just like everyone else without worrying about all the problems I face and everyone I know faces? The beach is so peaceful. The sun is shining which is making the sand very smooth and soft on my skin. I was watching the children playing and making sandcastles on the beach. They were so innocent without a care in the world but I was a teenager who didn’t feel like one because I felt like I was always carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. So, I decided to go for a swim and try to be happy along with everyone else. I ran to the shtore only to feel the warm sun shining on me and the cold waves touching my feet as I wondered into the deep ocean that was so beautiful yet dangerous. Then I thought why do people love life so much? What gives them the motivation to move on and keep trying even though it is hard? My dreams and goals seem so far out of my reach even though I graduated from high school this year, I still have a long journey ahead of me. So why does it seem so much easier to just give-up on life instead of having to struggle for everything I do or get in life. As all these thoughts was going through my head I traveled deeper into the ocean. The water was so refreshing, but the waves were rough and high that they pulled me under and I should not keep on fighting. All I could think about was Jake and how he had not come back yet maybe he decided to abandon me. I could not bear the thought of never seeing Jake again.                                                         

“Crystal, awake up! Aare you ok?”. Jake must have caught me in his arms. Then I really blacked out. it must have been two hours before I wokeawaked up again. Wwhen I opened my eyes I felt a shock that it scared me I got up so abruptly I almost shot straight up, but my body was still weak with overwhelming well mining thoughts. Aas confused as I was I closed my eyes for one second to try to clear my head none of this made any sense. The next thing that happened was even weirder clearing my head was not a success because all I could see was Jake’s face staring at me. His smile was warm at the same time worried and anxious I opened my eyes again Jake said “I am so happy you are finally awake. Wwhat happen back there? Are you joking you are asking me what happen? Where am I at my house I brought you here for safety after the incident “. Jake said, “Yes! Why you are the one who fainted out of the blue. You had me worried sick about you! “I was surprised Jake really cared about me. Then Jake said “Say something! you Aare you mad of me? What is wrong? Do not tell me nothing.anything. I know very well that is not true now, tell me what’s the matter Crystal please, do you trust me?”  

“Fine I will tell you it was a nightmare I had yesterday. It was about this creepy man who is tall, dark, has red eyes, with a hollow body. He was chasing me down a dark alley with a knife to my neck, and then he knocked me to the floor. I thought I was about to die. Suddenly a bright light shinned through the alley, a boy with green eyes whom I had never seen before saved me from the creature. I found out his name was Danny. The next day when he left me a love note that said he knows he and I were destined to be together forever. I going to meet him after school, but we ran into each other and I was so happy to see you. I forgot to go, oh there is one last thing I have to tell you it’s what the creature said “There is more of them coming very soon “He will never stop until I was dead he will be back for me soon.” “Jake seemed outraged, shocked, but at the same time hurt. I could not explain his expression there were too many emotions on his face. He was completely silent for a while. He did not move a muscle for an hour. I felt really guilty for not telling him as soon I ran into him. Did he think I did not trust him, that I was mad at him? Did he know something I did not and was too afraid to tell me? I could not stand to see him like this it as if he was paralyzed. Jake wake up Jake!    

Jake! I am sorry I should have told you. Then suddenly Jake fell to the floor. I impulsively ran impulsively to help him not knowing what to do, so I bent over to cradle my arms around his chest, put my head down on his chest to hear his heartbeat, it was very slow. Was he dying? No, I could not bear the thought of losing him again. I had no idea what was happening, but I was not going to let him die alone. I hugged him so tightly and kissed him and said “I love you Jake please stay with me. I need you! Pplease I love you.” 

Was this the end for us? I heard a loud boom; I went to close the window. I saw a dark hollow figure.” Come with me if you care about Jake.” I am a soul reaper, Crystal; I know who you are and Jake too.” 

I was scared, how did he know about Jake? 

 “I told you I am a soul reaper who knows your deepest darkest fear is losing Jake. My name is Shadow.” “My kind use people's deepest darkest fear to corrupt people heart and souls to spread evil across the world.”       

“You will never get away with it. Stay away from us!” I grabbed Jake’s chest to protect him. Stay away!” I felt helpless, but I was not about to give up. There had to be something I could do to help Jake. He was always there for me. I wanted to be there for him and all my friends and family just once instead of them being there for me. I could not let fear ruin my life. Shadow had had a weakness but could it be he was a being powered by darkness and hatred because the world has become so corrupt as a result of war. He is stronger by the second but how could defeat the essence of evil itself. I remember my purpose for living because this incident reminded of that fateful night aboutmble how I was able to create an arrow of light and perch soul with pure heart so why couldn’t I do it now? Wwas something missing? Wwas it fear?. I need to find Sshadow’s weakness before it is too late and Jake dies I impulsively used my telepathy to transfer my mind into his to find his soul weakness and heart. His mind was dark as a black hole devoid of life or emotions. It was unbearable I saw my fear Jake soul under a spell. I will free you. I promise, no matter what. Then everything started shaking and I heard Sshadow’s voice, “ Gget out you will never save him. You may be pure but you are not bind.” I did not listen I tried to imagine a way out to save him—a a light a doorway anything that could help us. Ssuddenly, I . sSaw a star amd started heading towards I uncontrollably headed towards it, drawn by it’s uncontrollable light and power. Thenthen felt power and light shadow told to give up I was too tired and enraged atof him. Ame all I cared about was getting Jake free. I made a sharp arrowvow and fired it the abyss that was shadow heart you will pay a light perch his entire being after saw an of Jake being squeezed to death I fired two arrows of fire that went to his soul and he yelled .I transferred to my body . Shadow screamed how could you best me again I s hot a beam of light on showdown to finish him off but he got away. I hurried to Jake to see if he was okay. I had to save him. He couldn't die not now not ever but he just got back to me and I think I am in love with him.I ran to Jake with tears in my eyes and I put my head on his chest so I can hear his heartbeat. Jake is very weak.his heart is slow but he is alive I need to get him to a hopstial think I have to do something what would Jake do in this situation if it was me. He would try and stay clam to get help I took my phone to dial 911, when I realized that I know where we were and how was I supposed to explain the dead body in the corner.l if if if I pull tall oh my Gosh the police I would probably get arrested. I would I would too young to go to jail and I promise myself I would never leave Jake behind again . I had to think of a way out of here but when I'm got up I Leon I realized that Jake was bleeding he must have been stabbed by shadow. I had to drop the book bleeding I had to stop the bleeding and and death help I had to put pressure on his wound then I realized I had the ability to heal him or maybe I do I've healed it I've have him won before but never did been on other people I put my hand on top of each other to place puzzle puzzle on the wound I did not remember the bill spell spell alah please heal Jake cure him of all pain power glemand glow at Allah god of the heavens and the earth give us the strength to keep fighting and cure his heart. I am using all of my power to help him come back to me crystal focus on closing his wond my heart is beating so fast and my hands are glowing with mana please cure him I love him.please restore his heart and bring back what was once mine I cast the spell I think it was working Jak was starting to match my breath and he opened his eyes oh my god Jake can you hear me

in Egypt in the malalua. My dad was born on May sixth 1959 .My grandmother's t name was kalsouim unfortunately, she died the day I was born so I never really knew her. My dad always tells me stories about what a loving and caring women she was. He only wishes there was some way to repay her for everything she has done for him. Although, I did not know my grandmother well I will always be grateful to her for bringing my father into this world. My father is a hardworking man, with wonderful attributes to offer such as love, determination, perseverance, patience, loyalty and ,humor. My father life was very difficult; he was one of seven siblings named Mohamed, Sammy, Newell, and Butta which literally translates as the word “duck. My aunt Butte really name is the Awakening. In addition, I have two other aunts named fathama and suemiia. My dad went to school just like any other normal teenage, but after high school he went to college to become engineer. After he graduated college he joined army in the war between Egypt and Israel. When was over and Egypt won my dad left the military he met my mom and it was love at first sight for my dad at least. My dad came to America to get a job to earn money for two years while my parents were engaged.

 

                      My mom is a very special person to me. She is my role model; she holds a unique place in my heart. I cannot describe in a few words, but I will say this my mom is a miracle worker. I do not know how she does all the cooking, cleaning, bathing, dressing, caring for all the needs of her three children, while she studying to be a teacher. I can only image what gives her the will to do all that. I am not denying my faith in Allah SAW and his power, but I also believe my mom has her ambitions to achieve her goals in life and the best that she can be. On the other hand, it could just be my mom desire for me and my brothers Mohamed and Gamal to succeed and have a better life than she did. It is the combination of three ideals that make my mom so close to perfect. She was born on February uary second 1965 of 14 sibling in three bedroom. Which means I have 53 cousin on my mom side only and seven on my dad side, yeah big family I know we visit every other summer. My mom wanted to be a doctor but her grades were not high enough to get into medical school.

 

Eventually she met my dad and after two years they moved to America to start a new life in 1991. Two years later I was born I came into usual way my mom has a c section except the doctor who delivered me told I was not ready to come for another 12 hour but I was. AS A result, I have cerebral palsy due to lack of oxygen in my brain for 12 hours but even if I did not have cerebral palsy I would have some other circumstances maybe a mental illness and I would not the beautiful strong intelligent caring selfishness compassionate person I am today. I have a associate degree from Nassau community college in Liberal arts humanities and social sciences and a I also earned my bachelor's degree from Hofstra university in 2017l in sociology and psychology. 

My name is Sarah Elgohary. I am nineteen years old I was born with Cerebral Palsy, but despite my disability I have managed to be a part of a mainstreamed society and I have accomplished many goals in life .I am a very dynamic individual who is a very hardworking, determined, attentive, responsible and versatile person believe every new life is a pure, innocent, soul waiting to find its purpose in life. As a result, I wonder what my purpose is in life I want to contribute to the world as much as my family and my friends gave me growing up with my culture, my hobbies, my writing abilities my positive experience, and my future plans. I know I have the potential to help people and make a difference in the world I just have to believe in my abilities and not let my disability stand in the way of overcoming my obstacles to achieve my goals and dreams in life. want to become a counselor and make a difference in the world. By turning my individual situation of having cerebral palsy into solutions that can create a path of advocacy for people who do not have a voice in society, I believe I can enable them to be confident in their own identity. Because I have a physical disability, my experience provides me with a unique sense of empathy for those who are disabled as well as any individual seeking to discover the power of their own voice as a tool to enable them to communicate their messages and experiences in life in a peaceful way so that they make people aware of their problems without violence and fear. As a result, there are many issues that emphasize people needing a voice to advocate for themselves. As a counselor or social worker, I want to guide people to become powerful individuals despite their circumstances. One issue that is important to me is the global problem of Syrian refugees and the Syrian Civil War. I want to advocate for Syrian refugees as well as any group of people who cannot fight for themselves and help individuals discover their inner power and amplify their voice and to the world.

 I love my high school except for the fact that I am in contact with any person in my high school let alone my so called friends who didn't even care about me and I wasted so much time just trying to fit in now I love writing and shopping and watching anime and more importantly I love myself.

My mother is the most influential person in my life for many reasons. First of all, my mother was born in Egypt. Secondly, she is a very hard worker because she puts all of her energy into taking care of my brothers and me while keeping the house clean. In addition, my mother teaches kindergarten at Herrick’s school every day. I admire her determination, courage, and her passion, in her heart .She never gives up without fight. I will never understand how my mother can balance all of these challenges of life and manages to be the most positive, kind, thoughtful, and caring person I will know in life. She always puts the needs of others before her sacrifices many things to keep my family happy. 

My mother is my role model. In my eyes she is a miracle worker. Without her I would not be who I am today. My mother and my father gave me every, single genuine personality attributes I possess. They taught me everything I know and the principles I live by such as honesty, integrity, caring for others and helping others, determination, passion, courage, and respect. My mother inspires me to never give up and to always work hard to makes my dreams come true. She is always there for me when I need her to talk and vent my feelings to her .My mother taught me to have confidence and believe in abilities, while never comparing myself to other people. Therefore, she taught me to appreciate everything I have and to help the less fortunate. I always remember that fact when my family and I visited family in Egypt last summer and I saw so many people and children sitting on the street without food, water, or shelter. I think they have kinder hearts than most Americans. When I visited Egypt even strangers were like family to me and they did not even know me, let alone have anything to their names to give despite that they will still willing to give more than they have In order to help my family and I. That really opened my eyes to how fortunate I really am in life. Finally, even though we fight sometimes I will always love my mother. I hope I can be as good a mother to children as she was to me. Family is the most important aspect taught to me by the religious principles given to me by my parents. These principles my parents gave me will stay with me for the rest of my life.  

For most of my life writing has been a passion I always thought I was not very good at writing. I pretty much did if I had to write essays and research papers just for school purposes. In eighth grade I realize that I might have a talent for writing. When I wrote a paper on the Feminist movement, which I became really interested and I must have written a really detailed paper and proven my point because my English teacher gave a ninety six on it. He said, “I was a wonderfully gifted, writer.”I like to write because it helps me express myself and alleviate out my frustrations. Even though, I sometimes have too many ideas and details so I get off topic and do not prove my point. In fact, on my last research paper on Emily Dickinson I received a ninety two and I was so proud, because all of that hard work paid off in the end. When I write I never have trouble coming up with ideas when I write due the fact that I always try relate my life experiences and how I feel to my writing, When I write I see an image of the finished product in my head before I start writing. Sometimes I know what to write on the paper without thinking. I think I have a gift for writing or at least that what people say. Now that I think about it the first person to open the revelation of writing in my eyes was my elementary school teacher Ms. Seiden. She taught me how to use details and explain my ideas in my writing. As a result, over the years I continue to practice explaining my ideas and proving my point by using a lot of details now writing is second nature. Writing has had a huge influence on my life. Writing taught me to be very patient, dedicated, and to have confidence in myself. Writing taught me to look for deeper meaning and a connection to life from literature. Writing has given me a purpose in life. I have always felt as if I was a burden to people due to my disability Yes I believe there is a future in writing for me I could write a book in five years. I started writing my own fantasy love story over the summer. Writing makes me happy because I can express myself in many different ways without being accused of being wrong in my answer when I write. Writing helps me release stress. Writing is a part of who I am as a person. 

` After I graduated high school I had a three week evaluation with Vesid. An organization that helps people with special needs learn to adapt to a college. In addition, Vestid also trains people for jobs depending on the severity of your disability. As a result, of your strengths and weakens Vesid will provide you will the best career options that meet your own abilities. I have a plan with Vesid to be a social worker specialist but I want to major psychology to be a school counselor and I want to minor in English Literature to become a writer o f I become a successful writer, I want to publish my book and turn it into movie.

Helping others through social work is one of my main goals and passions in life because I have always wanted to advocate for people. I have cerebral palsy, which has made me realize how important it is to convey your own ideas and messages in a positive manner to the world. I discovered I wanted to be a social worker when I was fifteen. I used my voice to advocate and resolve a family fight between my aunt and uncle that had lasted two hours. Although I could not physically intervene and resolve the issue, I acted as a moderator and was able to use my voice to convince them to listen to and see each other’s perspectives. I realized that I was never going to stand idly by and do nothing when people are in trouble. This experience taught me that I have the power to advocate for myself and others. This was a realization for me because when I learned to advocate for myself, I was able to say what I needed without worrying about whether others would advocate for what I truly needed. I want to be able to teach my clients about this very important skill that has changed my life.

 My physical disability provides me with a unique sense of empathy for those who are disabled as well as any individual seeking to discover the power of their own voice. I want to help each of my clients use their voice as a tool to enable them to communicate their messages and experiences peacefully, so that they make people aware of their problems. People must never be afraid to stand up for what they believe in and ensure that their powerful voices are heard. Even if people have no other resources available to them, each person has a voice. It is your most valuable resource because no one can ever take it away from you. As a social worker, I will encourage my clients to utilize their voices by helping them use their passions to create different outlets that help them become comfortable sharing their unique experiences with other people. 

     My passion for writing also contributes to my interest in social work. I enjoy writing because it helps me express myself and alleviate my frustrations. Writing has had a huge influence on my life. It taught me valuable skills, including patience, authenticity, dedication, and confidence. It strengthens my ability to advocate for people and share my experiences, knowledge, and feelings with people. This began when I created a beautiful heartfelt blog called the Shining Star where I write posts on many different topics. Writing makes me happy and a better person and advocate. My blog allows me to use my voice to advocate, inform, and educate my readers to help influence them to make a positive change. My voice is reaching a big audience, people from all over the world, —including the United States all way to Poland India, Egypt ,Saudi Arabia, France, Kuwait and the Philippines . I use my blog to advocate for people by educating and informing my audience on many different topics that are important to me such as educational inequality, gender roles, media, representation, Syrian refugees, and Egypt. My blog allows me to advocate for myself and use my knowledge to influence my readers from all over the world. Writing has enabled me to observe the world and its tendencies. Through writing, I can advocate for myself and others by creating a blog where I can freely share my knowledge and experience with the world so I can inform and influence people in different countries around the world. As a social worker, I will work with my clients to help them find their voices and different outlets to express themselves while I teaching them how to advocate independently so they become as comfortable sharing their unique experiences with other people as I am I with writing. 

Sometimes not being able to help people physically can be very challenging; however, I am very good at being empathetic and offering emotional support. When my father was diagnosed with cancer, I could not do anything for him physically, but I sat home with him every day keeping him company; we watched basketball together, I talked to him, helped him with phone calls, and listened to him tell me stories. I encouraged him with positive words such as be strong and “I love you”. This experience made me realize that I want my future career to involve this individual care for people. As a counselor, I want to make people comfortable in their own skin, allowing them to use their voice to convey their messages and experiences. As a counselor I will provide my patients with emotional support by listening to their stories and having them take initiative to develop self-advocacy by leading discussions. The most important types of emotional support are patience and a positive attitude. I will be there for my clients and provide them with hope and confidence in their stories, talents, and abilities, allowing them to develop self-advocacy skills and become productive members of society. My father taught me how powerful emotional support truly is, and providing emotional support to my patients will be more important than physical support.

As a counselor, I can create an environment where people are not afraid to talk about religion or social problems. I plan to have open discussions with my clients, by asking open-ended questions such as “Why do you think you are here today?” and “What makes you unique?”. These conversations can help me break the ice and build a strong rapport with clients. A therapist’s work cannot begin until a comfortable relationship with a client is established; a strong connection with clients is the foundation for therapy. I want to give individuals the opportunity to express what is going on without subjecting them to double-blinded questions, in which however they answer, they are somehow wrong. Rather than put a negative connotation to their answer, I want to hear them out and allow them to express themselves more freely. As a therapist, I will teach my patients how to take advantage of their own abilities. As a result, my clients will learn to accept their differences and embrace their unique identities and talents, because no one should ever be ashamed of who they are. No matter what life throws at you, people can always achieve their dreams and goals. In order to progress as a society, we must cast away this false idea of what “normal” is. 

My internship at Abilities allowed me to focus on this issue and make a difference. During this time, I worked in business communications and helped students with their resumes and cover letters. I was able to advocate for the students and highlight the qualities that made them stand out as individuals. This internship helped me realize that I want to become a therapist to help people with their problems, along with becoming an activist who speaks up for people who feel like they do not have a voice. I am aware that there is a stigma against attending therapy, so I want to create an environment where people feel safe and comfortable to fully express themselves. I hope to make people comfortable talking about a variety of topics so we can alleviate their frustrations together. Even if people do not want to talk about their problems, I will listen to their frustrations as a friend if they just need someone to talk to.

My last semester at Hofstra, I had to write a research project for the semester in my sociology class. I wrote about Islamophiobia and Syrian refugees. I became engrossed in the research. It touched my heart to point where my research was not just for school anymore. This research really opened my eyes to the struggles of Syrian refugees. During this semester, I discovered my passion for Syrian refugees. I become so attached and concerned about the wellbeing of Syrian refugees that I knew I must advocate for them to help end this serious humanitarian crisis.. I have continued to research the refugee crisis and how Islamophobia is strong barrier faced by innocent refugees. There is absolutely no reason for Americans to be afraid of Muslims who practice a peaceful religion in society. My research has inspired me to advocate for Syrian refugees as well as any group of people who cannot fight for themselves and help individuals discover their inner power and amplify their voices, and experiences to the world. One of my major goals is to provide Syrian refugees with a platform to speak out about their personal experiences. I realize that I cannot stop all conflict, but at least as a counselor, I can use my voice to help people gain their voices and provide them the skills to advocate for themselves. My research on Syria refugees makes me want to advocate for them and become an ambassador for the United Nations idealistically. I want to help people and my extensive research on Syrian refugees makes me realize that I want to take action. Not only do I want to become a therapist to help people with their problems, but I also want to become an activist to advocate for people who feel like they are powerless. This advocating is not limited to people with disabilities, but all people who need a voice because society has muffled their sound with unfounded discrimination.  

I am eager to join the Hunter Uuniversity School of Social Work for several reasons. I believe the social work program can teach me the skills necessary skills necessary to become a therapist , who allows people to understand themselves so that they can reach their full potential and influence others to do the same. I love writing so I also look forward to my research papers and my field ,placement. Hunter’s School of Social Work offers students the option to choose a specialization in a field of practice (FOP).
