Everyone has someone that they think he or she is the best leader. I chose my aunt to be the best leader I have ever met. a very strong and success leader. Her life was full of difficulties since her childhood, and since she was 4 years old. where she suffered the blindness after the smallpox disease. At that time this disease was widespread, and it affected lots of people in Saudi Arabia in the 60th and killed them, because there was no hospitals or professional doctors. Nobody could help them.

My aunt got that disease with her friend when she was 4 years old, her family could not do anything to her, so they isolated the little girls in a small room, and waited for them to die. Her father was feeding the girls through a small hole, and he did not give up on them. After 6 months they survivedm but my aunt went blind since that day.

She did not stop her life there, so she wanted to study just like the others, but at that time it was very rare that a natural women can complete her education. Also, there were not any special school for blind girls or people with disabilities. It was so difficult for aunt Haya to complete her education, but her father hire a woman from jordan to teach his girl in the house.

There were also other consequences encountered during her study, such as early marriage and the responsibility of her home, her husband and raising her children, but she was very strong to handle all of that. She got her first baby girl in age 19, and she was still studying. I could not imagen her life, such a blind woman who have a house, a husband, a little daughter to take care of while still studying, I will give up immediately.

Few years later she graduated, and she found a job in an elemntry school for girls. At that time she was having her fourth child. At the beginning she was suffering with those little girls, like she could not control their energy or their naughtiness while in class because she could not see the classroom. Sometimes the girls will open the door and ran away from the class, or they will steal her shoes or her bag and hide it in some place where she can not find it untill another teacher comes and help. She suffered for months, so she decieded to be strict and will set punishments for those naughty girls. At the same time she was kind and her class was fun, because she started to use games, music and stories. She controled them at the end. Her class was the best in everything such as: clean class, quiet and good grades students, and she got so many prizes for being the best teacher. After two years all the other teachers voted for her to be the next school president, and she won that postioin. She changed the school a lot from in and out side. The first thing she did was to merge the blind girls with the others. She changed the way of teaching kids from boring and tradetional to new and fun way. The kids parents where calling to thank her because their child changed, they started to like to go to school. Every morning she will step in a stage and tell a joke, she said: “if you started your day with a smile, your day will change to a better one”. She used to share her breakfast with the students in their breakfast time. She was simple, smart, motivator, strict and warmth at the same time, patient, and always positive. These were the qualities that made her to be like who she was.

She followed her dreams where she completed her study, and she got married, she had children, she raised them, and then she became a teacher for non-blind girls, also she had been chosen to be the preisdent of the school. To achive her dream she never gave up. She had faith in God, she once said “that God took my sight, but he gave me the strength and will, so I will not let him down”.
