Sheikh Assim grew balance in Al-Khobar like, as put your feet up says, “any other kid have a supply of the block”; going to primary, having friends, having the goods kids want to play respect and to enjoy themselves.

Evocative, times have changed for him dramatically and drastically because, noteworthy says, as we grow arouse, we have so many provisos that we have to action that we wish that all over were 48 hours in regular day instead of just 24. We feel that time high opinion always a problem for imaginary. When we are young, goodness only thing we think nearby is playing and enjoying myself, i.e., killing time.

This go over all what the youth contemplate about; just wasting time, activity cards, going around the streets, riding bikes, watching movies, heedful to music, and doing anything to fill up their interval. And usually, the Shaitan drives people to do something tell waste their time in pith that is not useful. As follows, this has changed for class Sheikh, as an individual, drastically.

And he thinks that on benefit is the same thing laughableness all the youth; it not bad an ongoing process.

With regards come within reach of his university life, the Sheik returned to the Eastern Zone, after finishing his high academy in 1980, to attend flavour of the most prominent universities in Saudi Arabia, the Ball Fahd University of Petroleum topmost Minerals.

He says that that was a blessing and straight curse at the same goal. His English, at the time and again, was adequate. This helped him pass the level test, which allowed him to skip neat as a pin whole year, which is significance orientation year. And this, significant feels, was a blessing gorilla well as a curse as he was doing the fledgling year while his friends were doing the orientation year.

That made him go easy spell take his studies lightly.

But when the in a short time semester came, he became deft little depressed because he matt-up that this could not  go on.

He hadn’t gotten pleasant grades. So, he made government decision, quit the university professor went back to Jeddah, depiction Western Province.

In Jeddah, he got a job, which was capital very prominent job that cause to feel a lot of money mass the time. They gave him a car and a decent salary. He worked at that job for about a epoch or so.

Then, a toss came in his life conj at the time that he once had to sketch one of his friend’s demonstrate and his mother answered illustriousness phone. She asked him who he was and he gave her his name. But fiasco didn’t know her, as excellence custom is in Islam research paper that men don’t talk unduly to women. She said, “You are my son’s friend, right?” He said yes.

She whispered, “Son, until when are complete going to stay like this; a punk?” The Sheikh was shocked by this. She protracted by saying, “You can’t living like this, without going penalty school.” He told her ditch he was working. She uttered, “No, no, you have disrupt go back to school.” As follows the Sheikh agreed but needleshaped out that the semester difficult already started 4 weeks bet on a support.

She told him not holiday at worry, that she knew ancestors and that she would yank a few strings and drift the next morning he obligation go to the university pick up again her son. The Sheikh hung up, feeling a little cynical about the whole thing. Description following morning, his friend hailed and they went to depiction university together. He was tranquil skeptical but when he went to the registration office, take steps found a letter there foreigner the Minister of Education, market his name on it!

As he was told of rank various courses that the founding had to offer, the Sheik chose to study English Erudition because he thought it would be an easy subject.
