I want to say something before I start writing. I get a sense of comfort whenever I start writing a reflection because I don’t view it as an assignment. I view it as sharing a flow of thoughts, and because I have ADHD so my thoughts aren’t always organised. In fact, they’re not organised at all. I do forget a lot of things when I don’t act upon them at once, including assignments, unfortunately. I forgot that I had this assignment, and I just remembered now when I was opening Canvas to give feedback on another class. Back to the matter at hand, as I said, my thoughts are not organised at all, so when I take a bit of my time to write a reflection. I organise my thoughts, and after writing them, after see what I wrote. I realise that I have never given the thought its time before and that I am discovering what I wrote now. I know some people would think that this whole paragraph doesn’t make any sense, but anyone who has ADHD will definitely know what I am talking about. The reason people might not notice that I have ADHD is that I have a predominantly inattentive presentation, this type is not very noticeable, unlike the predominantly hyperactive-impulsive presentation. Now that I said this, I will begin reflecting on the Soliya experience. Unfortunately, I didn’t attend the first week of the program due to a technical issue, so I missed the icebreakers and the brief introductions about the Soliya program, but I attended all the other sessions. And one of the things that helped me is that some of the topics we covered in the Soliya program were already covered in the class. For example, something like unconscious bias. My group was I diverse one, and we didn’t have any Americans. It was such a relief to be honest because I don’t like Americans. I don’t know why I don’t, even though I didn’t interact with Americans before. Maybe I just associate with them based on what I see on social media. It doesn’t matter either way because I am supposed to go to America this winter break, so I will break that barrier, and I’ll have to deal with them, and maybe my point of view will change. Or maybe I will dislike them even more. I know this may seem to be a generalisation, but there’s no hard feelings. I just don’t feel so comfortable, it’s a me thing. We shared our thoughts on different aspects, like how we view things, how others might view us when we interact in groups vs alone, and many other topics. One thing I disliked was that my group didn’t speak as much as I did; there were just two active people, and there were two who were never there, just texting. I also noticed that despite us coming from different places and different backgrounds, we think the same way, or at least kind of the same way. The most interesting topic we talked about was what we thought about youngsters, how people think we are vs how we really are, and if we can really be revolutionary at such a young age. Overall, it was a pretty fun experience despite the drawbacks I mentioned. However, I think I wouldn’t repeat it again or try to join Soliya again as a facilitator. Not that it wasn’t good, because it was actually. I would recommend it to my friends, but for me at least, it was a one-time thing. I personally think that if Soliya could work on a program that connects me with people who are currently in Egypt, but they’re foreigners, it would have been so much fun and I would repeat it a lot, for I find talking to people in real life a lot more than online meetings.
