                My name is Ghadir Abdulaziz. I am a 19 year old Muslim American from Palestine. I was born and raised here in New Jersey. I have many big goals and dreams that I want to achieve in life. I love my family and friends. I love to shop and explore new things. I am an outgoing girl. Many people look at me in a weird way since I wear the hijab but when they get to know me they find me interesting by the things I tell them about my religion which is Islam. I love to travel. Unfortunately, I’ve been to only three places out of the states which are Canada, Jordan and my lovely homeland Palestine. I am currently a Family and Child Studies major with a concentration of Child Life Specialist. I think this major is just right for me because I love children and I know helping children and their families overcome life’s most challenging events will be a blessing for me. After four years of getting my Bachelor’s degree I want to further my education and become more knowledgeable in children’s lives. I of course would love to get married soon. Many people would want a rich person as a spouse but I truly would not want a rich person. Money does not buy happiness or love. My parents got married at a young age and I see their romance still going strong till this day. I have four sisters and two brothers and they raised us to be smart, intelligent kids. We love to have big picnics with the whole family, and one of the funniest things that ever happened to me was at a picnic at the park. I was playing basketball with a group of people that I actually didn’t know. So they asked me “do you know how to play?” and I was like “uhh yeah, I use to be in girl scouts”. So, they turned the ball to me and I was thinking “oh I got his” and all of a sudden after I jump to make a basket I fall flat on face and they started laughing at me. It was so embarrassing!
One topic that interests me is the Family Trend project assignment. I think it would be great to do research on families and analyzing family trend data. Another topic that also interested me is the Part 2: Diversity and Families. I do not know exactly what it will be about but I want to learn about the diversity in families, how it’s ok to take someone out of your religion, race, ethnicity or there social class. Lately, I’ve been seeing that and I think that it is great to see people not think they use to a few years ago. I think wikis is an awesome idea. It was really confusing at first but when I kept on going back and playing with it, I realized that it’s actually fun and exciting. Before I watched the video, I didn’t know how to use it. It taught me that you can just cut and paste your assignment in the edit box and it will put it in document form. Also, when working in a group, members can go back and edit anytime they want. Overall, I think I’ll get the hang of it and I’m looking forward to this semester.
