Miracles: NSU Day 8 - May 14, 2009

Thursday 6 pm-8 pm. - we're having our 1st. class of Method of Inquiry (EDD 9300) with Dr. Fawzy Ebrahim, an Egyptian and we called him 'magician'. He made us felt that nothing was impossible. .and everything seems so achievable through hard-work and perserverence. He said there's 3 important things to be given by the students in his class - firstly Ask to Understand, secondly Understand to Learn and lastly Learn to Apply. We met Clark who also joined this class and have to travel 300 miles from Orlando, just to attend the class because he heard that Dr. Fawzy is the best! We met Gloria and Tracy who also came for the same reason. We felt blessed because after attending his class we're confident that our concept paper would be ready before the Summer Conference. Everybody was so cheerful even Clark who's concept paper was rejected twice by his Committee Chair..guest who? our dearly Dr. Clisbee. Then we felt so sad when Dr. Fawzy said that he was diagnosed having brain tumor and will undergo his operation on Jun 8. Oh God..please..we really pray for his health.

Then another miracle came..Dr. Fawzy gave us 4 large tray of Beef Macaroni, apples, bananas, juices, and even the can opener...and he said the food was prepared by his 'boss' (wife) specially for us - the Malaysian group (MY1 & MY3). We're very lucky to be here, meeting lovely people and everyone making us feel at home. Thanks God..we met Dr. Fawzy - the guy who loves cats very much (but never had an opportunity to have one because of his 'boss') and who was so kind to us!.
