And you were willing to give up a trip to Germany, Switzerland and Italy to be with friends right after HIGH SCHOOL graduation! 

A real surprise for me... 

BUT, it also shows us adults that each of us have our idea of what is valuable...

And, I am glad that you value FRIENDSHIP!

When you got your U.S. visa, the consul asked, "What is the "coolest" place you've been to?"

And you answered, "Dubai!"

And I could recall her surprise and her query, "Why?"

And you talked about the desert safari and the ATV (All Terrain Vehicle)...

And she said, "Oh, those four wheel things"....

I guess she couldn't imagine that your choice would be a place in the Middle East! 

And so when you were 12, you said, "the U.S. Embassy people were very nice and kind!"

.... And how you love cars!!!

But then, you did learn driving very early just like your Dad and your uncles!

And of course, your Mom also contributed in teaching you how to drive!
