I am a young Emirati guy. My name is Mohammed Ahmed Alkhameeri; I was born in the small oasis of alain on July 27th 1990. After I was born my parents came back to Abu Dhabi after they have finished visiting my grandparents in Al Ain. I started studying when i was three in a private school till I graduated from the Emirates Private School which is one of the best and oldest school.
Often in my childhood we used to go camping in the desert or visit my family in Dubai Jumeira specifically. Jumeira was a very nice quiet area where my grandmothers were born and where most of my mother’s family are from. It was a lovely place and the houses that we stayed in were on the beach, there was an old coffee shop “The Gahwa” where old men used to sit and discuss the matters of life and the problems they were facing at that time. A small super market was also there along with the mosque which is the most important thing for the people of the area.
While I am sitting at home with my mother and aunts and elderly women at that time I remember them making some handcrafts like “ tally” to decorate their clothes with or making the face masks which is called “ burga” it was a wonderful time when I used to see them talking and enjoying their tasks at the same time.
When I was a teenager I remember doing many stupid things like running at midnight without the permission of my parents, and I would feel as if I have done an accomplishment. I like drawing and designing my own things such as folders, note books and many other things.
I love listening to emirate songs and also some other Arabic songs, I like to sing but only for myself I don’t think that am that good to sing in front of others. In my future I want to obtain new skills that will help me in my life and career.
Am studying media as a major and would like so much to be successful in it and in my life.
