Digg it UP - Confessions Of A Soon To Be X- Saudi Woman
Engagement ring insurance can protect your bauble in case a worst case scenario happens...So you've taken one of the biggest steps of your life by purchasing a ring and proposing to the woman of your dreams. This is the point where practical considerations begin to cross your mind.... Like, what if my woman is washing her hands and the ring slips off down the drain. Or what if the diamond falls out of the setting. Or what if the dog somehow swallows it.There are several different types of insurance policies for jewelry. You need to carefully investigate eac
So Anesthesia and Canada it was!
It was not easy for a 26 year old woman who had learned to live covered up and never allowed to be independent to pick up and leave, alone, and start a new life in a foreign country. I had never driven a car in my life, as women in Saudi are prohibited from driving. I also had never cooked or cleaned
For those of you who don’t know, a ‘live’ table of contents is one with clickable links rather than page numbers. This is a great e-book feature because it makes it easier for your readers to find exactly what they want, click, and they are there.If you are adding a table of contents to an existing document, open the document and click on Insert -> Reference -> Index and Tables. Uncheck Show Page Numbers and check Use hyperlinks instead of page numbers. Click Show Outlining Toolbar then OK. You will see the outlining toolbar under the last toolbar you are displayi
The medical profession is without a doubt one of the most honorable professions out there. As most of us tend to follow in our parents foot steps and coming from a family of health care professionals myself, I had my road mapped out for me by my parents who instilled me with the belief that Medicine is the only future I should ever consider in order to live independently.
And so it began, I graduated high school with honours and was easily accepted into medical school. Now I should probably mention that my medical school training as well as all of my schooling was done in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia which cannot be compared with other countries as, I believe, they have mastered the art of degradation and humiliation of women. My experiences there include things like frank kidnapping and assault which are not the topic here today.
Our Medical class started off with 170 girls in the year 1994, and by the time we graduated and were doing our internships (2001) we had shriveled down to 14 girls. The number of guys who were doing their internships at the same time was 300.
As soon as my internship was over I had made up my mind that I could no longer live in Saudi as I had become traumatized by many horrid experiences with the ultra religious police of Saudi and every other man who felt had the right to yell and scream at me because I did not cover my hair appropriately...etc. I Just had to find a way out, my sanity depended on it. Meanwhile and as I was searching for a good specialty to do my residency in, I came across an offer to send all residents who would specialize in Anesthesia on scholarships to either Canada or the United states. This was around the terrible 9-11 events, so off course my rational choice was to go to Canada.

In watching the multilevel marketers try to induce new members to sign up we have seen quite a bit of fraudulent activity and I have learned the secrets of their scam routine. I am here today to share with you the secrets to signing up down line members for multi level marketing companies.I have traveled to every single city in the United States of America over 10,000 people in the last four years and I have sat in coffee shops and watched these Multi level marketing recruiters around the country try to sell things and recruit individuals into their down lines.

Do you look like a professional Network Marketer? Do You Talk like a professional Network Marketer? Do you write like a professional Network Marketer?Do your marketing results show you to be a Network Marketing professional? And, most importantly, does your team see you as a professional? Or, are you viewed by them as an amateur?You know, when I went to school they never taught us about professionalism. And, from what I hear, it is no different today.As a result, society has gone to lower standards, and a mediocre life style is accepted. That’s

In today's stock market you need to know why a market can change on a dime and how you can beat the market at it's own game. The changes in the markets are based on cyclical stocks that are influenced by economic growth commonly known as Gross Domestic Product or GDP growth. Normal economic growth is usually between -2% to 5%. When the economy is running at full speed, at or near 5%, the Federal Reserve will try to slow the economy if inflation seems to be becoming a problem. The only tool the Fed can use to slow the economy is by raising interest rates. Higher rates wil

Here are a few of the perils of Internet job searching: e-mail harvesters, affiliate hunters, identity thieves, money launderers, crooks looking for mules, and traffickers in stolen goods.And these are just some of the scams I've come across this year.There are thousands of these job scams online; that's the bad new. The good news is that there are thousands of legitimate jobs online too. The art is in distinguishing between the two -- and yes, it is an art -- and yes, it is possible. But it takes some work.I own an online job service, so I see onlin
So Anesthesia and Canada it was!
It was not easy for a 26 year old woman who had learned to live covered up and never allowed to be independent to pick up and leave, alone, and start a new life in a foreign country. I had never driven a car in my life, as women in Saudi are prohibited from driving. I also had never cooked or cleaned or did any house work as my nanny and 4 maids as well as a driver took care of all those things. Still , the rebel in me had had enough of the so many constrictions of Saudi and just wanted out!
On May 1st 2003 and in the mist of the SARS epidemic I landed In Halifax, Canada. I had traveled for 24 hours with a fever of 40 degrees C and was deathly sick. I was sure I had SARS and would be quarantined. However, somehow I managed to slip through the cracks. My first 2 days in Halifax were spent recovering from my illness which thankfully was nothing but a bad bug that just hit me hard.
Now, the culture shock kicks in. Here I was a 26 year old Saudi woman faced with the real world. I was overwhelmed with confusion and fear of everything. It was as if I had been living on another planet all my life.
Everything was different and difficult. I can still remember sitting on the bus stop trying to visually absorb everything and watching cars drive by feeling intense envy and sadness that women can drive here and I could not. I also remember going to the laundry room in my apartment building and having a kind older gentleman teach me how to do laundry. To say that I had to learn the ABC`s of life and normal human interaction would be an understatement.
Though finally free of being obliged to hide in a black gown and head cover that had become my enemies, I still felt naked. For 6 months my culture shock had made me become depressed, isolated, afraid and ultimately come to a decision that I was unable to proceed and just had to return to what in my head I knew was normal. I wanted to go back to Saudi.
Don't worry, that never happened.
As challenging as it was I learned how to drive, cook, clean, interact with men and simply live. Within 2 years I blossomed into the woman I
