Alsobhi is my family name, but I belong to a big tribe which is
Alharbi. It is a big tribe in Saudi Arabia, and they are in the west region.
Our tribe is one of the biggest tripe in Saudi Arabia. Alharbi is taken from
the people who are in a war, so other tribes know that we are strong and are
not afraid of others. As a result, I am proud of my family, and I will do my
best to make my family proud of me. My grandfather was not rich, so he worked hard to make our life
better. He worked in agriculture, trade, and breeding sheep. However, my father
was not like him. He continued studying until he got a bachelor’s degree in chemical
engineering. Then, he worked in a big company which is SABIC, so he provides a fancy
life for us. As a result, my father inspires me and gives me the motivation to
be like him, so I choose to study chemical engineering like him.
When people look at the mountains, they see
the immovability, the power, and the toughness. The mountains face all the
natural forces, but they do not change. In the life I have a lot of struggles
to achieve my goals and to get what I want, so I should work hard and overcome
these struggles. For example, it is hard a experience to travel to a different
country and study a different language. However, I have adjusted with that, and
it has become a great experience to me. Moreover, mountains express the Summit
and the optimum things. Everyone wants
to be like that, but that does not come in a short time. In addition, the variety
of materials is one of the main advantages of the mountains. I see that in
myself because I have more than one talent and I like to do many things.
People have their special abilities and skills. Knowing your
strengths and weaknesses will help you to improve yourself. This is because you
can develop your strengths and remove your weaknesses. When I was in high
school I contributed in many competitions in math. I got the first place from
all students who are in the same grade in Saudi Arabia, and I got a reward in
different math competition. Loving the mathematics make me enjoy doing math
problems. As a result, I become very good in math. On the other hand, my
favorite happy is soccer. Since I was four years old, I was playing soccer and
supporting Al-ittehad, which is a soccer team in Saudi Arabia. All my family
members are supporting this team, so it is something that we inherited from the
old generation. Moreover, I am so dexterous in soccer. I always play with my
school team. I have more than seven championships with different teams. Also, I
got three times the top scorer and two times the best player. I inherited that
from my father because he was a great player.
The tiger is a great and
wonderful animal. Fighting to get what he wants is one of the tiger’s features.
For example, when he sees a target, he hounds it until he gets it. Even if the
target climbs a tree, the tiger could hunt it. When I put something on my mind,
I fight for it. Even if the task is too hard, I do not despair. For instance,
when I was in high school the math teacher gave us a hard question, and he said
that the student who answers that question will get full mark in the next quiz.
I tried for more than three hours to solve the question, but I did not solve
it. After five hours I solved it and took fall mark. Moreover, courage is one
of the attributes of the tiger. when I am on right, I am not afraid of
anything.
My goals are my motivation,
which encourage me to work hard. I want to study in the United States because I
believe that it will help me to achieve my goals. English is my second
language, and I want to be like a native speaker. Therefore, I came to the United
States to study in order to improve my English. The United States has the best
universities in the world. Many students around the world compete to attend in
these universities. Also, these universities support students to do their best,
so my dream is to study at one of these universities. When I study I work to be
the best, and when I work with Saudi basic industrial cooperation (SABIC) I want to be the best, so I came to
America to improve my leader skills. Also, I came to build my character because
I will live alone without my family. For example, no one will influence my
decision, so if I make a wrong decision I will learn from it. In brief, I will
do my best to make my dreams and goals real.
No pain no gain! This is one of my beliefs in this life. When you
have goals you should work hard for them, and do your best to achieve them.
Being a successful person needs a lot from you. Although, the rich seem too
happy, they did not have that from easy way. They faced all the people who do
not believe of them, and they overcame all the struggles that would stop them.
For example, Edison tried nine hundred ninety nine times until he discovered
the electricity. The result for good Planning and hard effort is magnificent.
In short, without facing a hard time in your life, and continuing to work at
your goals, you will not achieve anything.







The tiger and your math example are spot on. That paragraph totally shows me (and others) the tenacity you have.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I hope you're able to play soccer again very soon. I know it must have been very difficult for you to have had that ACL injury. Be inspired, however, by that quarterback from BYU, who has had two surgeries on his knee and was out playing football ...and doing lots of running...after a fairly short period of time.
Great job Abdullah.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your paragraphs, especially the one that talks about the tiger. You are a real tiger Abdullah because you fight like it, and you support Al-Ittihad :D
Go for your dreams and fight for them brother :)
