I can’t begin to tell you, my dear readers, how much I have enjoyed this Ramadan. Especially after tonight, I am so sure that this coming year would be a real interesting one. I remember sitting with the Somali gang in Shepherds Bush and my friend telling me, the only reason why we are sitting here having a meal together is because of Islam. Honestly, this month has opened a London I have never seen in my 8 years here. It is in this spirit that I want to write down my resolution for this coming year.
One of my biggest resolutions is to give back to society. In the backdrop of London riots and the increasing frustration of young people, I want to help instill a sense of hope and aim into young people of London. I don’t know how yet, but in my mind I have a couple of ideas flying around. The problem I find is that those who are highly educated and motivated almost never give back to society. This is why the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer. I am going to fight this system. I really hope I can motivate someone especially from a poor background enough to get them into a top university in the UK.
Everything else, I am not bothered by the moment. I feel like a leaf in the wind. Wherever the wind takes me, I will go.
