Alternative Assigment

On Saturday, I attended Balls at the Southern Theater in Minneapolis with my husband to observe some new talents in the area. When I was child, one of my dreams was to present something in a theater type of an environment. I choice to go there because it gives people a good chance of becoming known by do whatever they want. Balls is considered one of the longest running open-mic in the Twin Cities. It is nice a place and people come to it from different place to watch and judge. I like the event, because it’s similar to my favorite show “America’s Got Talent” and is presented in a similar format.

We arrived at the Balls at 11:45pm, as the show starts at midnight. The show was so funny and mixed with comedy, song, and other shows. In the show I attended, each presenter was given around 5 to 7 minutes to do whatever they wanted. I watched different people with different talents and some that did not have it at all. The first show started with one guy who sung like Michael Jackson. He has a nice voice and made me enjoy his show. He really sounded like Michael. After that, a woman had a horrible voice and she was trying to make jokes during her performances. It was so bad and the audience booed her out. I learned about different performer’s talents and their characteristic in the twin cities. Overall, it was interesting and we enjoyed most of our time there.

Explode A moment

       After the difficult moment in my parents’ life my mother started to think about her children and their future and her sacrifices started from here. I was the older child and I was so close to her and I watched her surviving the difficult moment that she went through with my father after he lost his business. She started to go out and search for a job for days and days because my father was shocked after what happened. the news about losing all the money he saved for life in the business that he mad was so hard for him and immediately he lost his vision. My mother turn in life began she became the mother and the father at the same time.  I will never forget how hard she worked; she worked outside the hose and inside. She gets my father needs before she leave the house for the job that she found. She found a job as a waiter in a small restaurant. It was a small neighborhood restaurant. The owner of the restaurant knew the situation that she is going through and she explained to him that she could not leave me and my baby brother at home with my father because of his illness. She used to wrap my brother in her waist and serve the customers and I would be following them everywhere. The money that he paid to her was not enough for her family so she decided to make food at home and sell it for people, so the money she got paid in her job she buys what she needs for the food that she makes for people at home. My mother was the best cooker in the neighborhood she made the famous Sudanese dishes, she backed the bread at home. At that time I was 6years and I was supposed to start school. She wanted me to inter the school because she never had the chance to finish it. She wanted the best for her children.

     My mother was a strong woman who sacrifices many things in her life for me and my siblings. My mother got married when she was 10 years old, her parent decide that she can do it because she was an independent girl who never asked someone to do something for her even her own mother. She helped her parents with all the house needs and she took care of her siblings. Her family was poor so she left the school to work with her father in the farm to help raising her sisters

“Adventure” Assignment

  Mall of America Adventure                                     

When I came to America five years ago, one of the places that fascinated me the most was Mall of America. We have many malls back home, but we have nothing like the Mall of America, which is one of the biggest Malls in the world. When I visited the mall, I thought it was the most wonderful place that I have ever seen. My husband told me about the underwater aquarium that is located in the basement of the mall. Since that time, I have always wanted to see it. I never had the chance, because I am always busy with school, the children, or something. I did not have the time to discover it! About a week ago, we had a school break and my husband had some time off from his work, so we thought to do something different. I came up with the idea of going to the MOA Underwater Adventure. He liked the idea, but since he saw it before, he was not as excited as I was. We argued if the children are going to enjoy it! After that, we agreed to go since there wasn’t anything else to do in this cold freezing weather.

When the adventure has started, we sew fishes of all kinds including turtles and many other things sea creatures from the real underwater life. The most amazing thing was the sharks. I have never imagined seeing a shark swimming this close and felt almost next to me. Of course, we were separated by a thick glass. My children really enjoyed it a lot. My daughter was very excited for seeing Nemo, a cartoon character, in real life. We have also enjoyed some ice cream, and the children played with some of the mall rides and games.

A lot of people may think that Mall of America is only a mall to shop, I disagree. This experience at the mall aquarium proved it to me. It’s actually a nice place to see different things and spend some good time while taking shelter from the cold weather during winter in Minnesota.
