Some Facts about Ireland

Ireland is always my most favorite country. Here are some interesting facts about Ireland:

Ireland is the name of an island. It is next to the island of Britain. There are two parts of Ireland: Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom, and the Republic of Ireland is a different country.

Everywhere in Ireland you will see green, in fact Ireland's other name is 'the Emerald Isle'. Green is one of the symbols of Ireland and everybody wears green on Saint Patrick's Day, the Irish national holiday.

The most famous symbol of Ireland is shamrock. It became a symbol because it grows in many places - and it has three leaves. The number three is very special for Irish people - some even believe it is magic.

Another Irish symbol is the harp, and two other traditional instruments are the bagpipes and the fiddle ( 'fiddle' is another word for 'violin'). The Irish are famous for their playing, singing and dancing.

Leprechauns are Irish fairies. They are shoemakers, and they are not very friendly. They also have secret pots of gold. If you find a leprechaun, you can look for his gold, but don't look away from the leprechaun. If you do, he will disappear - and so will the gold! Of course, this only a superstition.

If you sailed west from Ireland you would come to the USA. A hundred years ago, thousands of Irish families left Ireland to look for work. Many of them went to the USA. Today there are many people in the USA with Irish surnames and Irish relatives.

What Is Twenty Eight?

As usual, I never think that my birthday is something special to be celebrated. What for?

I am getting old and I have not married yet. It’s not something that I have to be glad for.

However, I am grateful to be blessed by God, Allah SubhanahuWata’ala. Thankful for the great family (even though my parents forgot my birthday), the cheerful friends, and the lovely students.  I am not alone.

Twenty eight is a patience.

Twenty eight means enjoying myself whatever I am.

Twenty eight has eternal power.

Twenty eight means struggle and hope that never end.

Twenty eight is time to prove the real me.

This month, June is a hopeful month. I am waiting for three good things. I wish for those three things, not one or two of them, but all those three things that can complete me. And when they come true, it will be the best day in my life.
