The immigration to United States

I'd like to talk about the turning point in my life and it was my immigration to United States. It was a big deal in my life because I was living in Egypt and it is my country and I left my roots, my family, my friends, and every thing that I love there. I left all of that to come to the United States for a better life. We heard a lot about the United States - that is was the best country, a better life, and beautiful country. When I came here to the United states I left everything I knew and came to a place that was strange for me. It was certainly a turning point for me!

I just want to explain what is the difference between United States and Egypt for me. In Egypt I was living in a small town near Cairo and its called Banha. I have a lot of friends there that I love and they love me and I didn't want to leave them at all.  I have a big family who I want to see, and I miss them a lot because my family is a special family because we do everything together. However, I hope that i'm living there because in United States I don not have  family I just live with my parents and my brothers. Also, my  brothers are living in Egypt, not here because they have their universities there because one is in an engineering university and the other one in business college. So, they just come two months of the year to stay with us and then they go back to Egypt and they are here just for the holiday. Actually, i'm living with my parents and my younger brother. Also, I don't have many friends HERE so, I think that i'm living alone and i'm doing everything by myself, because nobody is living with me to give his opinion.

                                   

 City of Banha  

   I just want to say that I want to live in my country and in my small city more than anywhere else because every thing that I love is there, like my friends, my family, my city, and my teachers. So, I think that you guys now understand what is my turning point!!

Ramadan

Ramadan is a welfare and charity month. This month is the greatest month of the year for Muslims. Muslims  always wait it eagerly every year because it's the best month for them. Actually all Muslims always pray five times a day, but in this month they are praying more than five times a day. Also, they are fasting every day from 3:30 am to 8:30 pm. We fast this month because our God ordered us to fast to feel what poor people feel when they can not buy food and feel hungery. Also, our God gives permission for anyone ill or who travels for a long time to not fast on that day. Most people invite each other for lunch and some neighbors give each other food and eat with each other. Also, the whole family, like uncles, aunts, the grandparents and everyone in the family are eating with each other. The rich people make big tents to feed the poor people or anyone in the streets who can not go back home in the time to take lunch. And our god ordered rich people to give poor people money to enable them to buy food to feed their family.

                                         

However, for me I don't think that I was in Ramadan because when I was in Egypt, I was playing with my friends after lunch but here I do not have a lot of friends so i'm not playing too much like Egypt. Also, i'm not eating with my family like Egypt and also because the major in Egypt are Muslims so we all feel the same thing so it is interesting there but here just a few people doing that so it is not interesting at all,  but I have to do that because it is a big part of Muslims Religion. I do not feel the same sense like Egypt and my parents tried to make us to feel the same sense like Egypt, but we could not feel the same sense. However, I hope that I was in Egypt in Ramadan to enjoy these days.
