Tell me about your feelings now, you have struggled for many years to get this title.
00:05
Yeah, it's been a long journey since I've been like 9 years and it's something very
00:11
beautiful that I'm now being honored to have this trophy, to have this title and I'm actually
00:17
going to thank everybody that helped me in that way and in this journey and yeah, that's
00:22
something very beautiful and I feel very proud to hold this one and actually to represent
00:28
my country in the perfect way.
00:29
How many times have you participated?
00:31
I've been participating since I was 9 years old, so it's 8 years of participating and
00:36
it's been 5 times that I went to the AARC Arab Reading Challenge and Alhamdulillah
00:42
now I'm the winner.
00:45
Your parents said you have been going through a lot because of the situation back home,
00:49
can you talk about that?
00:51
Yeah, I believe the situation in Palestine is very, it's very hurtful because you see
00:57
that what's happening, it doesn't affect only the people in refugee camps or in Gaza,
01:05
it affects the education, it affects the reading, the books and they want to destroy the universities,
01:11
the schools, but I see that the Palestinian people and the Palestinian kids are very strong
01:17
to participate in these competitions and to challenge and to be the best, Inshallah.
01:23
You are the biggest testimony for that, yeah?
01:25
And what do you plan to do with your prize money?
01:28
The thing that I'm going to do is like to help any student, is a Palestinian or non-Palestinian,
01:35
is an Arab, I want to help them because reading is the key to success and I want to help them
01:41
buy this money for reading and for recreation.
01:45
What do you want to become in life?
01:47
I really want to have a very important, be a very important factor of the modern world
01:54
that is waiting for us.
01:56
Thank you so much, all the best!
