“My mother was an elementary teacher for more than 20 some years before she retired two years ago. If you know anyone who went to Rahbatt il Wardyyeh –Shmaeisani ask them about Miss Salam.”

“She has completely dedicated her life to her two kids. She believes that she got everything she wished for by succeeding in her life-long investment and the way we turned out to be. Honestly, even though she visited me last year, I miss her the most. (Don’t tell my mom that, she will start crying. By the way, and after 5 years, every single time I call my Mom she has to go through a period of crying on and off the phone. You would think that she got used to it by now!)”

“I got kicked out of every art class over the span of my 12-year school career. I just refused to participate. All I wanted to do was to walk around among my classmates offering them advice and critiquing their work. That shows you how much I appreciate art and artists. My mother always refused to let us waste our times in the (7ara) and always took us to attend galleries, plays and concerts. I appreciate that and I kept the habit.”

“And that concludes today’s segment of ‘A page from the personal life of a random character’ presented to you by ‘AOHWww’…. ‘AOHWww: the number one vocal reaction for your fake compassion moments’ :o)”

    Miss Salam was my Arabic teacher when I was 9 years old. Everytime my school friends and I gather to reminisce about our old school days, we end up all agreeing that Miss Salam was the best Arabic teacher ever. I am in debt to her for that forever.

    In addition, she was a great teacher, very dedicated and a lovely person.
    I remember that I had two full notebooks of ( 2mla2 ). I never got 10/10 my marks were always either 9 or 9.5 and I remember that it was my goal to get a full grade :)

    I will always cherish the effort and the memories and I wish that she will always know that kul banat ilwardieh bi7ibooha.

    I do remember her.. she taught me and my two sisters! A face that’s hard to forget loved by everyone who knew her.

    I love her. I love her genuine smile and her sparkling blue eyes and the way she reacts to me like I’m a long lost niece or something, someone that’s loved and admired and appreciated. She has a way of doing that – makes you feel very warm. And I love her bird nest. And her penchant for dabkeh. And her hugs.

    Miss Salam taught me Arabic too.. till today i am very proud of my arabic and forever i will owe it to her :) i3rab al fi3el al mudare3 is forever stuck in my head :)

    My memories of her is that she is funny and loud and very alive :) as kid I always thought she was very elegant with her long black hair… she has also been a good friend of my mothers, and over the years i have heard tens of little anecdotes and stories about her! I I have not seen her in years, but she is definitely one of my most memorable teachers… .
