I SURVIVE

         On October 12^th 1992, Mustafa Mohammed  27 years old a  waiter who lives in Cairo,Egypt, He had a tragic experience with the earthquake which happened in Cairo on 1992 . While he was a sleep in his room he felt something heavy on top of him. When he tried to get up he couldn't, he felt as thou something was holding him back. Finally, he opened he's eyes and saw that the whole roof top had collapsed on him. He didn’t know what to do. His whole body was numb and he couldn’t move a muscle. He stayed stranded in this situation for 2 days. During this time he had no food or water. Out of hunger he had no choice but to eat the cotton out of the mattress to survive. He could hear emergency vehicles passing outside. His mouth and throat were so dry he was unable to call out for help. He knew if he didn't try to help himself get out of this situation he would be left to die. He used all his strength and managed to pull his bed sheet out of the ruble. He was close enough to the window that he threw the sheet out and waved it like a flag. Luckily, a rescue worker saw the sheet and brought help. Life is full of unexpected experiences that can be life changing. Mustafa believed he was given a second chance at life. Vowing to live everyday like it was his last, being more thankful and appreciative. It took a near death experience "you have to stop and smell the roses".

Why I like Living With a Host Family.

        Living with a host family was not one of my options, because of the difficulty  of living in a new environment  and exploring it with new people,  many people gave me a bad impression about how hard it is  living with a host family and not having your own privacy, But it turned out for me to be a wonderful experience. 

                                                                              

      The reason why I like and chose to be living with a host family is because it turned out to be the opposite of what people have said, I find it quite enjoyable and  peaceful.

          Living with a host family is like living with your own family. At the beginning   I thought it was going to be difficult to be so far away from my family and being homesick, but  I had the chance to experience with my host family and was lucky because they made me feel like I was home.

          One of the main reasons that made me felt like I was at home , when I come back from my university and I find the house clean and fresh, for example: having a busy schedule does not give you time to clean, cook and wash. I arrive at the evening exhausted and not having enough energy, The host family can help you with many things, first of all when you feel lost there would be someone to guide you and lead you to the right direction. Second of all they try to make you feel like you are one of the family member and give you there time to truly help to improve .
