Palestine

The homeland is a few letters, a word that is small in size. The homeland is like the mother and the family, the warm embrace of every citizen on his land and eats his fruits. The love of homeland is born with man, so the love of the homeland is inherent in the individual; he feels that there is a connection between him and this land that grows in her lap. And the love of the homeland is not exclusive to anyone; since everyone loves his country. Homeland is a symbol, a pride, and pride; therefore, we must defend and protect it with all strength, to preserve it as and to appreciate it for providing security to us. This country has rights that everyone must abide as long as they live in it, these rights include: preserving it, protecting it from all evil, raising it to highest levels, maintaining its cleanliness, protecting its public property, and protecting our lives in the event of any danger. The poet said in love with the homeland.

I am from Palestine. I was born and raised in a great city called Gaza. I have a big family, 3 brothers and one sister. I have two uncles, seven aunts in the father’s side and four uncles, three aunts in the mother’s side. So, I have a lot of cousins we are like friends. But this is not a huge proportion of existing families there are many huge families, so our family is small relative to other families.

The Islamic cities have two festivities,” We call it Eid”: Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr. First Eid is al-Adha, Adha means in Arabic sacrifice this last for four days. Most people sacrifice sheep in the morning and then they distributed to the neighbors, relatives, and friends. Second Eid is Eid al-Fitr, Fitr means eating. We were fasting for the month, and then we shall eat in this last for three days. Most people in the first day eat type of fish it calls Herring fish, but not fresh, they put salt on it and they store it for a long time maybe one month. By nature, children are given money and daughters as well as mothers and sisters not only for children.

Israel occupied the state of Palestine and took over and seized the property that was before 71 years ago in 1948. Divided the state of Palestine to two areas: Gaza Strip and The West Bank.

The capital of Palestine Jerusalem. It is one of the oldest cities in the world and is considered holy to the three major Abrahamic religions-Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Jerusalem is between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea.

Gaza port is one of the most important parts of Palestine. It is a very nice place. When we-me and my friends- got bored we were going to this port.  Also, in the morning we were walking or running in this beautiful place. Next, to this port there is a beach where we do a roast, play soccer, play video games, play cards and joke together.

3. How does David Brooks’ ideas about the benefits of nurturing crystallized intelligence apply to your first month of the spring 2019 semester thus far? Be specific. Find three connections.

According to David Brooks, “Crystallized intelligence is the ability to use experience, knowledge and the products of lifelong education that have been stored in long-term memory. It is the ability to make analogies and comparisons about things you have studied before. Crystallized intelligence accumulates over the years and leads ultimately to understanding and wisdom.”

I need to get experience. How can I get this experience? Not from online life such as watching videos or reading on Google. I must do this work on offline life. I have to try and work with a team. I want to complete at least one internship as a part of their undergraduate degree requirements. Interning with a company in my career field is an excellent way to gain hands-on experience. I have to be in volunteer positions where I can increase work experience. Some companies look favorably on volunteer activities.

I need to acquire parts of knowledge and apply them in different settings. I need to take breaks to improve my memory and my ability to solve problems. Learn in differing environments and work with knowledge in differing ways and use multiple senses.

Offline learning, at its best, is more like being a member of a book club than a cocktail party. When you’re offline you’re not in constant contact with the universe. There are periods of solitary reading and thinking and then more intentional gatherings to talk and compare.

Connectedness meant conversation. A great deal of conversation who become each other's databases and servers, leaning on each other's memories, multiplying, amplifying and anchoring the things. We could imagine by sharing our dreams.

The time has come to free our mind, to look up from the screen in front of us and to see the real world again, to exchange a smile (yes, a real smile, not an emoji) with a real person. Update our state, not our status, and disconnect from the world on my screen and reconnect with the real world.

Also, spending so much time on social media makes us less social and even unaware of the real world and the very real people in it. An organization that equips a global movement of community professionals. It’s worth putting in some effort to build communities in the offline world.

And, you have to turn off the offline and online life. Thinking about your goals, what are you going to do tomorrow? Not the same methods or habits. At least one hour in every week, you should think about your goal.

All you need to do is define what goals you want to achieve, and what skills you need to acquire to make it easier.
