Graduation Speech

My experience at District 67 has been a cherish-able one. The people I've befriended, the memories I've made, the teachers I've come to know. All of these factors make one beautiful memory. I can call myself one of the luckiest people ever 'cause I got to be in the same class and/or grade as some of the best people ever. I often take pride in my school 'cause it's taught me how to accept people for who they truly are & never have I ever felt this accepted into a community than I have at District 67. 
Thank you teachers and students for best 9 years of my life 

Dear 10 Year Old Hareem,

My advice is to not live in fear. Everything'll be alright & living in fear will do nothing but mess with your own head. I also advice to step out of your comfort zone earlier than 8th grade. You've been missing out But just don't live in fear. much love. 
Those pink glasses were not cute by the way

Pretend This Is a Really Good Title

"Beginnings are scary, endings are unexpected, but it's the middle that counts the most"

Elementary school was pretty laid back & relaxed and I loved every year but I don't think that had as great of an effect me on like middle school. In middle school, I broke out of the "shy" phase. I stepped out of my comfort zone & I made so many great memories along the way. I also realized what I had to do to get good grades & I found out my study habits. By far, middle school will be the most memorable year. And that's what I think this quote means. That once you start something, in this case school, it'll be a little scary. And in my case it was scary to the point where I couldn't even talk & my shyness got the best of me. 
"endings are unexpected" means that you'll never know what'll happen to you. Will you get a job automatically? Or will you wait & probably get married or something? I will admit, I am scared for high school only because I don't know where I want to take my life afterwards. 
"it's the middle that counts the most" means that in between the course of elementary & high school, middle school, you will make the most memories. And that's the truest thing I've heard by far. 
I'll for sure miss all the people that I've grown up with but I hope everyone is happy with where they're at & where they'll be in a few years time :)

#ItsComplicated

I like to think of my life as 'straightforward' and 'pretty simple' when it's the farthest from. My relationship with my siblings is an example. One day I might lock myself in my room only 'cause I don't wanna see my siblings. The next day, I'm probably playing around with them & hugging them every 5 seconds.  :)

Testing & What I Think About It

At first I used to get mad about testing but now I've just kinda accepted the fact that we have to do it. We're in 8 grade now, we should really stop complaining. I mean, I still hate it, the testing, but complaining isn't really gonna do us any good. Now we should just be glad that the PARCC tests are over. We should now just kinda make the most of the 3-4 weeks we have left in GMS. 

Here I Present To You a Picture of an Awesomely Cute Baby

apparently, the picture of the awesomely cute baby takes a while to pop up but I assure you its really cute :)

A Tribute for Someone Very Special to Me

As some people may know, my dad is someone I can never live without. I can't live without any of my family but anyhow. Recently, as many people who have my snapchat (alrighty then) already know, my dad left for an unspecified amount of time. It could range from a week to about 6 months. When he first left, I got super sad but didn't cry which I thought was really weird. But however, the next day, I broke down in my room cause I missed him so much. Fortunately he finished his work early & came back in 3-4 weeks. In that amount of time, I found out that my dad is a big part of my life. A humongous part, actually. 
Now it's time for the really sweet things I'm gonna say about my dad. If you think I'm gonna cry, then you're 99.9% wrong 'cause I don't cry very easily but I will make sure to give my dad a really big hug when he comes back from work.
Everything I am is mostly inspired by my dad. He's one of the sweetest people I know & even if people think I'm all cocky & what not, that one percent of niceness came from him. My humor came from my mom though. But anyways.
The reason I'm passing school with exceptional grades is because of him. My mom was born & raised in Pakistan & moved to America when she had me and my brother with my dad. haha I bet you thought I was gonna say he was born & raised there too & moved when me and my brother were born. Well you thought wrong
My dad however completed his high school in a foreign country but he moved to America shortly after to complete his studies & become what he always wanted to be; an engineer. 
But unfortunately, his dad died and since then my dad struggled to provide for his family & that's what makes him so special. 
I wanna thank my dad for everything he's done for me. Without him, I don't what I'd be. He's all I have & whenever I'm sad, he's always there for me. People say "I hate my dad!" but if you ask me, everything I am is because of him. I love you dad :)
