I thought that it was great that the group had Mr. Mougazy( srry if i spelled it wrong) come in and talk to the class. I thought that it was crazy how there are more women in universities in the middle east than men. i also liked how he talked to us about his education. I can not believe that he spent 12 hours a day studying. 1 exam with 15 subjects for their final. What drive and dedication. I did not know that their social structure was based on education. i also thought that it was crazy how he said that if you can get "OUT" everybody is on your side, everybody is happy for you.
"Half meal for dinner the rest is sleep, Not enough food and you are exhausted."
I was also really shocked that he mentioned the fact that getting out of Egypt was encouraged. I wonder if this same issue is present in all places in Egypt, or just in larger cities where the people are less used to rural life and more accustomed to the idea of success being related to having money.
