The 22 year old Shahad is currently a Zayed University communication student and a well skilled photographer. Her personality changed her life and made her overcome many problems using her kindness and forgiveness.

In the begining i would like you to please describe yourself?

I am a big dreamer, I always dream of the things I like or want in my life and try to make it come to real life.

What is the one feature you like in your personality and you wish it is in everyone else in the world? And why?

Being flexible and understanding because this will make life easier and make less problems in the world. If every person in the world was understandable and flexible their will be no or less hater in the world

How do you think your childhood effected your personality now?

At the age of 13 I had a misunderstanding with my best friend that I have been with since I was in grade 1, this made me hate her for a while and not accept talking to her or getting near her, but my mom then taught me to understand that maybe she has a reason for her action and when I asked her I knew the reason and it was not worth what happened at all. This taught me the lesson of trying to understand others before judging them.

Do you have any talents? what are they? and how did you find them?

I am a photographer, I like taking photos of things, landscapes or people and make from them a memory. I first realised this hobby when my mom bought me a camera for my graduation gift. In the begining I used to take pictures of anything around me then when I came back to the pictures I started remembering the memories of them and started making more memory photos that will help me in the future remember those good or bad days.

Compared to photographers in your generation how do you see your self different or unique?

I am a normal photographer with good photos just like any other photographer, however I don’t just see them as photos, I see them of an ART way to show memories and moments.

What is the most challenging part you faced in your life and how you over come it? What personality, skills or talent you used to over come the challenge?

My challenging part was when I started photography I was going to my first year in Zayed University but I really wanted to change my path and take photography classes instead and take photography as a job but my parents refused and made me take it as a hobby not a professional job.

How does your major effect your personality?

In the past years, I used to be a very quite person and not social at all. When I majored in communication I started becoming more outgoing and social. I started going to more weddings and gather ups that I used to.

Do you think people around you effect you more than you effect them? Or do you effect them more than they effect you? And why?

I think I get effected much more easily. I am a very open person and this makes me get effected by people more easily. It sometimes is a good thing but other times it is bad thing. I sometimes get effected by good people and that influences my life in a good way however other times it influences my life negatively and also teaches me a lesson.

Who is you hero? And why? What is it about your hero that makes you very inspired in?

My dad, he is my hero because he is a very understanding person, he is also flexible which makes it less complicated for us, his family.

What feature in your hero that you want to have but you don’t have?

When my dad was in my age he faced many challenges but he easily overcame those challenges, now we have an easier life but I still can’t overcome all my problems. I am still learning from him and still trying to become as strong as he is.
