Wow Sonia that soooo cool

Hey Sonia! Cool topic... The past year was awesome for me and the coming year is going to be even better, if Allah wills :).

Lets see... I'm just gonna go off into a rant here so hehe.. don't mind.

1. I memorized more Quran this year than I ever did in my life.
2. I learned Arabic.
3. I became more... outgoing, yet I'm still shy.
4. I made wonderful friends.
5. I learned so much about the world that I never knew: Guantanamo, Iraq, Palestine... In short, I watched more documentaries this year than I EVER did hehehe..
6. I became more... mature and less quarrelsome and argumentative, well with people which waste your time arguing with you.
7. I  stopped wasting time... Kinda... I'll get better at it next year :P
8. I got rid of ALL the negative thoughts of the future from my mind and turned them into positive thoughts...
9. I've improved my writing skills :) and hope to improve them further.
10. I've stopped backbiting... Just need a little more practice :)
11. I learned so much about Islam this year... it's been life transforming!

A lot more... I can't even think of them all :S...

Would love to hear everyone elses!

wow Sonia seems like you did a lot in 2008!! Ok lets see what have i done.....

1) I have become a lot more mature (kinda hehe)
2) I have grown like 3 inches...ok you might think this is hardly an achievement but since im short compared to my friends...it is for me
3) I have climbed Ben Nevis
4) Made loads of new friends
5) Stopped gossiping ( mostly lol )
6) Since im getting older school work has piled on (a lot) but i have had a positive attitude and tried my best at getting it done without complaint (most of the time)
7) Read Qu'ran a lot more frequently (ok that should be number one lol)
8) I ran in a 2 mile marathon and stayed silent for 1 whole day (thats a lot for me lol) and in total raised 2000 pounds for breast cancer by myself!!
9) i have worked in a hospital for a total of seven weeks this whole year...not a lot but not many hospitals let 15 year olds in lol but in that time i have learnt a lot about medicine and now i know i definitely want to become a doctor...InshAllah

thats all i can think of so far...not as interesting as most people's but i had fun lol

Oh oh... I helped out in the first grade class at the Islamic school here this year.. and its FUN!! I love the kids :):). It's awesome when you can be an older sister or "guide" for little kids.

OH!! My aunt and uncle adopted a baby girl from Pakiland (they can't have their own) and she is the spark of the year!! The most adorable kid ever... always smiling and making everyone else smile
