i think arabic is a beautiful and wonderfully rich language. i want to learn arabic and study law so i can work in the middle east and parts of africa as a human rights lawyer and translator. in the united states, there is some discrimination against arabs, but i have many arab and other middle eastern friends that i love dearly. some of my peers forget that the arabs had a great civilization when europe was in the dark ages, and the arabs made many advances in art, science, and medicine that benefited us. i'm taking arabic at florida state university and i really like it a lot, and i'm looking for more people to help me practice! inshallah i will do well! grace
