Poetry & Short story

Dubai
I wanted to choose a thing to write about and have it represent something more abstract such as a relationship or a lesson. I decided to write about how my lifestyle changed after moving here from Dubai. I lived in Dubai for 11 years and lived here for amour 6 years combined. Another thing I tried to do was to compare both lifestyles without being too literal!

Room B227
This was written from an experience. I wrote about my old chemistry class where I made a great friendship and compared it to a planner I saw sit on the window of the bookstore. I compared the friendship in class to the book feeling lonely and not fitting in with others on the shelves.

Future
This poem is what my future means to me. Since I want to be a teacher, I described all the things & situations relevant to that. I also tried to avoid all the cliché words & phrases.

I am not a terrorist
This is a slam poem about Islam. Many associate the word terrorism with Islam, so I wanted to show that terrorism has no religion!

Home away from home
Story about Amish teenager David who wants to become a doctor but struggles due to his religion beliefs. Behind all of the people's backs in the village, he received secret tutoring. What will happen to him and his beliefs when he meets a girl on the city?
