For my "Doing Nothing" experiment, I went into the new building learning center.  Since 7th period is one of the common study hall periods for the learning center, me walking in there was nothing unusual.  No one looked at me weird thinking who's that girl and what is she doing here?  I sat down at one of the computers but didn't log in.  I heard students talking, gossiping, laughing, or being completely quiet.  No one came up to me and asked me what I doing.  The outcome of this experiment was exactly how I expected it.  It definitely matters what room you are in and what students your being surrounded by, and I'm sure that if I was in an actual classroom and walked in without saying a word, I probably would have gotten judged harshly or would be thought weird.  Once they would find out why I was in the classroom, they would probably laugh and move on with their lives.

I believe in Allah and Allah only.  Me as a Lebanese-Palestinian Muslim girl, I believe that there is 1 God and 1 God only, and goes by the name of Allah. I believe that sending a peaceful message to others around me is more important than being aggressive, as well as the idea that my religion is an extremely peaceful religion that people don't take the time to realize.  I want to accomplish a very big thing in the world which is to send out a message to everyone, that my religion really isn't what all people see it as as it is publicized on television.  I am a very strong person and I will do anything to make that happen yet, doing this a little bit more difficult than you would think because I come from a very opinionated and strict culture so it needs to be taken down with a spoon full of sugar. I try my best to open the eyes of others and defeat stereotypes all around our society and community. I like to promote humanity and peace and do the best I can trying to spread a positive message. Islam is the most important thing to me and I hold it dear, my religion is my reasons for my morals and my responsibility, and my parents have always taught me to follow what I believe and trust in.  The person that influenced me to be like this was my father.  He is the one person that I believer every single thing that comes out of his mouth about religion because my dad has read all of the holy books, went to the mosque for Friday prayers, prays 5 times a day, fasts during Ramadan no matter what.  He is a true inspiration to me and many others, when it comes to religion.  He tends to open your eyes and realize what you need to do in life and what you can do to achieve it.  There really is no group that I "fit" into, all my life I've been taught that not every single one of your friends in high school are going to be with you until the end, so there really is no need to pick and choose who your friends are.  My parents and my religion both taught me that being independent and open minded is the best I can be for myself, and I should never change myself to fit in with the others.  Allah has a big impact on my life and I couldn't be prouder of myself to believe in something so strong.  Allah is what I believe in.
