My first blog

Hello everyone,

My name is Hussain Aldawood, from the Middle East, precisely from Saudi Arabia. I have been married since 2005, but I don’t like to tell my exact age. I had many things that influenced my entire life. I remember the meaningful experience that affected me last year. My spouse and I sit together discussing our future, immediately after she received an E mail from the Ministry of Higher Education. I couldn’t forget the first sentence in that E mail; “Congratulation, you have been accepted to study a master degree in the United States”.

I can say that it was so challenging for me to quit from my job. By the way, I forgot to mention that; I used to work as a control room operator in one of the natural gas plants in the east coast. My responsibility was to watch more than 10 wide flat screens, and control everything through them. It was really exciting.

I made the hardest step in my entire life by resigning from that company. I believed that studying abroad will make my future better.

A lot of my relatives blamed me about this decision, but I told them that my future will be much better if I get a good degree. I can feel it now, and I am sure that the upcoming days will develop my knowledge and life experience.
