A reflection on the story of Hani

Activity 3.1

The story is about Hani who has the courage to believe in herself despite her educational and financial background. I used to be like that before. During those times when we were not having a good life, I mean when we don’t have that much money, I studied better compared to now. Because my determination then to be a top student is greater because I wanted to finish early to help my family. When you are poor, it will make you strive harder. But if you’re not struggling in terms of money, then you won’t do that right? Because you’ll just say to yourself that I don’t need to study because we are rich. That is most likely will be your reaction. The story had led me to realize how I was like before. For me, I like the me before than now. Because I think since I went to study in Jeddah, I’ve changed. I don’t study hard unlike before and I learned how to criticize others from the influence of those around me. But if I also have the determination to be back to the way I was before, which is the studious one, then I believe that I can do it. If Hani can, then so can I.
