Back

Back in Montreal, and every single time I leave my home in Dubai, I feel I have lost so much. The importance of being next to your family, next to your friends, next to anyone you’ve ever loved can never be described by words. These people stand by you through your hardships, through your success, through everything you’ve ever stood for or are planning to stand for. The joy that beholds me every time I’m surrounded by those people is inexpressible because the feeling of comfort, the feeling of motivation, the feeling of care, the feeling of inspiration, and any other great feeling you can think of is all there. That extra step, that extra leap, whatever the step or leap is, can happen because of those people, because of their care and their belief in you, and because they love you unconditionally.

My mother, father, brothers, sisters, friends, and her, my beloved princess are people I can never live without, are the people that make me want to go to the moon, to mars, to wherever I want to be with my dreams and desires. I appreciate their support. I appreciate their very presence. I had a wonderful time there; I know I want to be there right now, but I know I’m here for a reason; I know I’m here to make their dreams of me accomplishing mine happen.

I have talked to her about leadership, about the great people in my life and how their personalities affected me, and how my admiration for them has turned into an obsession at times. Leadership and the skills that come with it is all around me, as close to me as my very direct family. I believe I can be the leader I always want to be in my field, and I am here in Montreal, studying to make it happen. The unconditional, total support I have from everyone around me is something I needed, and is something I’m going to use to make the leader I want to be, happen.

Strength and desire, courage and love, leadership and motivation, family and support, and you my princess are everything I need, are my weapons to success, and I’ll make sure I never fail you or fail myself.
