This is a very good story I was a Sociologies In a Spanish country in a Latin american country. I got a job in st Diego I worked like a social worker in Diego like homeless family they were living in a out sick like in canyons. I was working with them till I moving into an apartment with someone from Mexico. In part of that I help set up an after school program where I was touring kids. These times were the best part of my day I had fun with the kids I was good at it I felt like I really belong here. At that time I was not married my name was Kara Mullarky. I was trying to decide weather to go back to Philadelphia and go back to school and get teaching degrees and teach kids. But in a second thought that will be a big change and I really love it here but I did not think I had a future here. I was very very poor at that time. One day I went to the library on my way there I said to myself that if I were to become a teacher it will have to be a sign from god. “When I walked in the library I saw a book the title says that Ms. Mullarky can’t be in room one o one today. The name Mullarky is not a name like. When I saw that I just said to myself it is a sign that I should be a teacher”.
What or who inspired you to come to SLA @ Beeber to teach.
“ Mr.Roy is my husband best friend he is the one who inspired me to come and teach here”. He is the one who told me that he really love it here and the kids are very very smart and that they really want to do work. I wanted to work with kids that wanted to learn. That is the very reason why I choose to teach ESOL or ELL kids because I know that they really want to learn. For example you, you want to learn.

Max: What is your earliest memory?
Eoin: I was in preschool, I was about 4 years old, and it was like recess time and we were too young to go outside so we had to stay inside, and I remember this kid Christian, and I looked at him and I walked over to him and he said "Don't even think about it". So, I walked away and played with the Play-Doh. And it was really fun actually, it was very fun.

How would you describe yourself as a person?
“ I think I am a kind person. I think that’s one of my best qualities about me, that I really am nice, I think which you don’t always find in everyone.

How would you feel about being engaged?
“ Oh pretty exciting, I was very surprised!. So I’m still a little bit shocked, but I’m feeling pretty happy about it, everyone in my life is really happy about it. So that makes it a little exciting too.”

Interview with my dad Osama Fadl
Whatʼs the most exciting thing youʼve done?
Travel to Denmark and Sweden when i was a sophomore in high school and went all the way up to where the sun doesn’t set and there is no rising sun and its continuously sunny 24 hours.
Why did you go there?
I went with my uncle to go for an English course.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be? Why?
Now is Fiji actually.
Where is that?
That's by Australia because I have my best friend there when I was in college, I need to see him if possible.
What’s your biggest regret? Why?
For me, that I didn’t study medicine because its my dream and that’s the only thing I regret right now.And y? because that was something that I planned out but it didn’t work out.
Why didn’t work out? In general it doesn’t have to be specific.
Yes, its just that the requirements. It was hard to get, you know, it was very hard in my country but like there's was only two universities that teach medicine at that time. So that's one thing I had to go up road for medicine it was very difficult you know, to get an admission. Because it was through the ministry of foreign affairs and when I came in here (America) I had to be a citizen, you know, to get a good chance and that was you know there was different reasons in different places that gave me the chance to finish.
Do you think it’s too late to study medicine?
Yes, it’s too late. It needs a lot of effort, a lot of money, no not now.

What are you proudest of in your life?
“I think the thing that I am proudest of was taking a really big risk when I was twenty six years old. I left my job at Lockheed Martin for a year to go to Chicago as part of this volunteer program and when I was in Chicago for the year, I actually got a volunteer placement working at a school and thats what put me down the path of becoming a teacher.”
If you could snap your fingers and make one thing better in the world, what would it be? Why?
“I think that I would want to make just prejudice and racism kind of go away because I feel like that just creates barriers for allot of people that are just are too hard to overcome.” Do you think if we overcome those barriers the world would just be a better place? “I think that would be one potential solution, yea its tough to say.”
Who has been the biggest influence on your life?
“I think the biggest influence on my life probably was my uncle because growing up my uncle was actually also an electrical engineer and thats what got me interested in electronics when I was really young, which then lead me to college for engineering and that definitely had a profound impact on me.”
What are the most important lessons youʼve learned in life?
“Well interestingly, I feel like one of the most important I’ve learned has been, sort of in the last five to ten years and that has just been to, in some respects, do as much as possible because I feel like the more things you get involved with, the more people in that working so that you can accomplish, and that just opens up opportunities and ideas to do things with your life that you probably never would have considered.”
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? 20 years?
“In ten years, I think I would, hopefully, like to see myself still working at SLA. In twenty years, I think I would like to see myself, possibly running some sort of business on my own.” Why do you see yourself there? “I just really like different things. I think there is something to be said about changing what you do, hence why I started as an electrical engineer and now I’m teaching and I am not 100% sure that I would like to spend the rest of my working years as a teacher, I might want to try something else.”
