  My Family Business by AYED

          Back in my country of Saudi Arabia I am a co-founder and co-owner of a restaurant that I share with my brother, Salem. Five yours ago my brother came to me with a business proposition to start a restaurant.   He asked for my help to pay for some of the start-up costs and promised to share profits with me. I agreed and we began our 'project'. We opened our restaurant in 2009 in our town, and our restaurant specialized in preparing local dishes. My brother traveled to Yemen to choose the workers for our growing business, to pick-up recipes, and to order ingredients. I oftentimes managed the restaurant myself. Our reputation grew quickly, and we found a need to open more restaurants. Just recently my brother Salem has told me of his plans to open another restaurant in a bigger city. Our project was a  success.
 
 

                           The Second Gulf War "By Turki Alharbi"                        

       In a summer day 1990, Iraqi occupied troops invaded Kuwait State and tried to get into Saudi Arabia. That was a shock for the international community and drove leaders, people and political organizations to call the Iraq to withdrawal immediately. On the ground, there was a tough resistance that stopped an expansion of Iraqi troops and made it more confused forward how to handle the situation. Even the United States expressed its concerns about the complicated situation and asked the Iraqi troops to return strictly to their previous boundaries.

      Saddam, the Iraqi tyrant, claimed the aggressive behaviors which were done by Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, and they also played with oil prices that pushed me to attack them. On the contrary, King Fahd strongly voiced to the entire world to do its duties to save the security and peace of the globe. In closed rooms, negotiations took a long time without actively actual steps on the ground. Also, the Iraqi regime used that to establish new identities for countries what it occupied. Moreover, some nations such as Russia, China and Germany rejected or abstained when the endorsement of resolution presented for voting.

       Finally, the United Nations after six months from the beginning of the war succeeded in endorsing a heavy resolution that consisted of two points. First point, they made a military action against Saddam's regime. Second one, more than thirty countries participated in this action and they achieved a great victory in February 1991.

  Soccer is the sport that I like it by ALI KHAZAAL



  The soccer game is a very famous game in my country. I am used to playing this game from many years ago. when I was in the elementary school, I was playing many times in a week, also I am still playing even now.
      Year after year, my love for soccer has gone up. When I was a child, my parents gave me a ball as a gift, and with this I could make a team with my friends in the school and neighborhood. We always played this game in the day and the night, and the goalkeeper was my favorite position in this period of my life. After that, when I was in high school and college, I usually participated in the soccer teams and always we entered the different competition, and sometimes we won, but most times we lost. In addition, all these years of playing soccer made me a good player, and I began to play as a forward. 
      All in all, I am playing soccer for exercise, training my body and getting me energy, besides having fun. Moreover, I play soccer to remember my friends in different stages of my life and how we spent a nice time to learn a new skill in this game or watch matches on T.V. or stadium. Furthermore I think that soccer is not just a game, it is complete life for you. Two weeks ago, for example, I was playing with my friend. All the members in my team were tired and took a rest, but I still played alone. The opposite team said "give up" but I didn't. I think this taught me a lesson, that anybody should not give up in any condition. Finally I could get a goal. Although my team and I lost this match, I got a great lesson. This is the soccer and this reminds me of a proverb that says    "Life is a game".

  Start New Life In U.S.A
     It was a dream that came true. I've always wanted to come to the USA and experience a new life. Coming to live alone was a total different life that I had to live in as well. Having to come with little English to speak with was a struggle from the beginning. However, it was suppose to be hard for living, but I had some cousins who lived long before I came. They kind of gave me some informations about the country that I will be living in and showed me everything around. Knowing that many Saudi people are also around was a good thing that I liked. On the other hand, not because all of those advantages of having to living in the USA, I did not care about my hometown. I truly have missed my family. But I also have to get over my emotions to be able to live comfortably and to be able be successful in college when I start. I want to get my college degree and make myself  proud and also my family who have believed in me.

  Family Businesses
   Businesses are formed differently from each country to the other. To have a business in the USA like Wal-Mart is not like opening a family business in Saudi Arabia. First of all, family businesses make tasks be done easily. For example, if two brothers have a project to do communication is going to be very easy. Second of all, family businesses allow the family improve their social status. For example, if the family could achieve many things in their business field they will be able to improve their status in the community faster. Finally, family businesses bonds the family together. For example, the family gathers at all times, because they meet each other at home and work. Family businesses in Saudi Arabia sometimes are inherited. In sum, that's why family businesses are very common in my hometown.

“South Early Childhood Education” by Denice Martinez Tejada

     I believe that Early Childhood Education in the Dominican Republic is growing. However, I think that south Dominican children should have good Early Childhood Education. I have some reasons for that. 

     First, the government has to invest in Education, like pay more for teachers and make and to implement good projects directed to the development, abilities and skills of south Dominican children. Besides, children need big classrooms, so they can learn better, can explore and do things with their senses. 

    Lastly, teacher’s pedagogical training is mandatory guarantee of a good Early Childhood Education. For instance, teachers need a lot of pedagogical resources to improve the quality of Early Childhood Education such as computers, games, books…etc. That way, children would have a chance to interact in a more effective learning environment, explore with their senses and their surrounding wherein they can manipulate concrete pedagogical materials. 

      In my opinion, in order for Early Childhood Education to get better, the government needs to do things about it because the lack of investment in Education is not good for south Dominican children.

  shining. People come out to enjoy the sun shine. In the 

Spring air wonderful, but storms come. The weather in this 

season cause allergic, so some people do not prefer the 

weather in this season.  I think Spring season is the best way 

to know how understand other people.According to my 

major,  in Sociology several of experts think Spring season 

has private things that make people happy. Finally, I really 

like Spring season because,I find myself with it.

  How To Develop a Soccer Player '' by Mashari Alwuhaimed

     What do you think if we got a limit for player prices ? I think we should have a limit for players' salaries .If we do put a limit, the matches or competition will change. The main point for each player from how I can get the best offer beside the money to how I can get the best club even if it is a poor club .Second, each city will make their own team  that might be strong. For example, as we read there is a limit which means no one is better than any one alse those who got the best players not the most expensive onse .  finally, you don't have to change your city because the old club is poor. For example, no on is better than any one alse because of the money as we know. However ,if there is no limit, each player will play for the money. For example, a lot of players are playing to transfer to the highest salary. In conclusion, it will be the best solution. The FIFA should limit for soccer teams.

 
  "Money Doesn't Do Everything" by Marwan ALJarboa
     I think it's fair when the teams spend more money than others.They have a lot of their own money and they can get best coach and players.However,I don't think if you have a lot of money you can get the championship.They should dedicate and encourage themselves to get it.For example,Arsenal club has a lot of money , the best coach and players.But they don't win ! They don't have spirit and enthusiasm when they play.Money supports but it doesn't make you win .
 
  Education In My Country : by khalid
My country has a lot of universities. The government owns all the universities, All of them teach. However, They do not have good education. For example, if i want to study there, I don't think they have good education. This is why all the saudi students travel to anther countries. They don't find good universities in the K.S.A. How can they found a job if they don't continue the education? How can they make them life better? Education is the best way. However, not all the saudi students can go to other countries to study. the government should change the education from bad to good. The students have to separate to continue their education. I think the government should change the education. It changes, The students will change the country like business or money. In conclusion, My country should improve the education.

The Constitution Is a Key "By Turki Alharbi" 

       All modern societies are built with a strong constitution that helps them to keep the prosperity. Unfortunately, in the Gulf Arabian  Countries, except Kuwait, there is no written and clear constitution and that leads to create several dilemmas and obstacles. We also face a great problem with new issues which need obvious rules to deal with them correctly. For instance, a lot of people ask frequently why we don't allow women to have the whole rights. To demonstrate it, we should return to the source of the problem, it is surely the absence of written constitution and its strict regulations and that makes us very confused about women's rights.  

     Plenty of political and social organizations comment deeply about the necessity of establishing strong voices which compulsorily drive governments to start formulating a committee to write the detailed constitution, which should consist of individuals' rights and their duties and make public questionnaire to approve it. Maybe, we have a very long journey in applying of the constitution's rules and realizing its regulations. But, we will reach significant targets which make us more modern, civil and advanced. Last but not least, the constitution isn't a car that is driven by us anywhere but is a step that teaches us how to drive our life and society punctually. 

     Finally, the constitution considers the best way to organize our daily life. Also, it gives us a chance to manage new issues safely and correctly.
