Ok so its been a month since i arrived in Saudi Arabia and believe me when I say that it has been the toughest month I have ever experienced.
The cultural shock I have always heard about from family and friends but I have never really taken much note there of, brushing it off as being one of those things which family tend to place unnecessary emphasis on, but low and behold ... it has been exactly as they have said it would be.
There are so may challenges which I have to face not only as an educator, but as a woman as well, things which i would not have thought could possibly have the power to hold me back from being the person that I have been for the past 26 years, this has given me a new view on life and a greater appreciation for the little things in life which we usually take for granted.
Today I am 26 years old and its the first time that I am spending my birthday without the people that I love and appreciate, alone in a foreign country and missing the little things which life always has to offer.
So to Me HAPPY BIRTHDAY and I pray that God spares me any more and keeps me safe through the year to come.
