Obaid is an Emirati boy who saw the sun shine on August 8, 1988, In Abu Dhabi. His parent did their best to raise him in a good environment and provide him a good life and education. This is a small background about me and I will talk more in detail in the next paragraphs.

My childhood was full of adventure but I was a very respectable boy. Before entering the school, my father and mother was caried about me a lot and they did not let me to mix with other children. Then, when I went to school when I was 6 years old, I had difficulty to talk and play with other children. Day by day I got used to how to play with them and I like to have fun with other children. Then I started to learn and know many things.

When I was a teenager, I had many beautiful friends. I liked to sit, talk and play with them. We traveled many places together. We went to Hafit Mountain and climbed it together. It was a nice adventure for me although we got tired. Also, we went to the desert and stayed for three days. I learned many things from these two trips, to the mountain and desert, like to be patient and strong. My father encouraged me to go on this trips like this instead of doing something bad, because he believes that teenagers have power and they have to consume this power in a good things.

Now, I’m very busy with my college, and I spent my summer holiday in taking courses in English to get IELTS. In the college we have to work hard and the college is different than our high school. It is more fun and interesting because we study in the field which we like.

I like to try the new things especially the things that give me more knowledge and experience. Traveling is one of my favorite hobbies. The first country that I traveled without my family is Saudi. I traveled with my friends and it was very wonderful trip which made me independent . Also, I traveled to Oman, Yemen and Qatar.

In my free time, I like to go with my friends and see movies at the cinema. I like watching action films and I like the way that the actors fight. Also, I like watching scary movies and I like to see my friends when they see these movies because their faces make me laugh.

One of my favorite hobbies is doing exercise. Once a week I go to the club and do some exercise to make my muscles strong. I know many people from different cultures from the club. Besides doing exercise I like to swim in the pool at the club.

If I had the chance, I like to go bowling and play football with my brothers and my friends. I like these two because I like to challenge my friends.

As I said in my previous paragraphs, I like to go to the desert and climb mountains. I like skiing in the desert and it is very amazing. I like to camp there with my friend. Climbing mountains is not as camping in the desert. I like camping more that climbing the mountains.
2007, was a sad year for me. Seven of my family passed away. All of them were old people and we learn a lot from them too much. I miss them too much but their advice in my mind and I will not forget them. One of them, who passed away, is my uncle who I learned from him a lot. He was like my father and he was kind and friendly with all people. I was very sad when he passed away and I can not forget what he was saying, that “Even If you have nothing, you can get anything, but your attitude should be positive”. I really can not forget any one of them, they all in my mind.

After a short summary about my life, I hope you know more about me. In the future I hope to be a good man who contributes in building this nice country. I hope that all my dreams become true in the future and I will keep working hard to satisfy my dreams. I want to be a good father like my father and a good and effective employee in my work.

DeBeers Cosolidated is the biggest diamond mining company in the world. They mine most of their diamonds from South Africa. They control 80% of the world’s rough diamonds trade. In the early 20th century, the company used to restrict the amount of the diamond on the market to keep the price of the diamonds high. Antwerp city has been a diamond center for 600 years. Indian people are associated with the diamond trade in this city.
