Old is gold, that was our starting point for our project. Its a great thing to see that your heritage and culture is still preserved and practiced till this very day. Our beloved country is 42 years old and that didn't change a thing. The UAE is one of the fastest growing modern countries in the world, with that fact in mind the people didnt forget their history and appreciate their culture like its one of their siblings.
We've interviewed some expatriates and they all said that the UAE is a great place to live in, its safe, the people are appealing and kind, its modern with a twist of its past. Indeed it is, Im really proud of who we are and what we represent. I won't ever forget the saying of His Highness Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan : "He who does not have a past, doesn't have a future." May he rest in peace.
Other than learning about my country's culture preservation, and how our country is respected for that. I'll make sure that I pass the message to my children and from them to theirs and so on just like how I learned from my parents and grandparents.
The group work was great, it was distributed among us and each had a task to complete. Whoever learned something new passed the note to the rest of us. Since this is my first course in college, I got to meet new friends and got know how things are run and supposed to be done. All in all it was a great experience that id love to do again.
