Autobiography

Someone requested a short account on my upbringing and childhood, so I thought I'd add it here as a post for everyone to see. Don't worry, I'll keep it short.

I grew up in a small compound in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia surrounded by many of the world's nationalities. I think the fact that I was surrounded by such a diverse group of people at such a young age made me appreciate people for who they really are, rather than stereotypically label both them and their culture.
Around the time when I turned 10 I returned to Egypt for good, only to visit my dad in the Arab Gulf during the summer where he worked full time. The transition was, for me, extremely difficult. The people were different, the culture nothing like what I saw used to. I even had to transition from speaking only in English, to speaking in Arabic with classmates. This made me very uneasy and somewhat of a loner during my first 2 years or so. I think that the fact that no one sat me down and explained to me what that transition would be like, or what was expected of me made me unaware of what was to come, making me so awkward socially.
Nonetheless, I eventually got the hang of things by the end of middle school, and became more outgoing, making sure that people respect me for who I am, and not judge me because I'm different.
Today, after my first year of college, I've become what I'd have wanted to become when I first arrived here. I think I could have had much more amusing childhood experiences had I not been so...well, you get the point.

That's me in a nutshell, any comments are welcome.
