AYA
Even though I don’t go to that school anymore (sad that they made the building so many years after I left), I get to volunteer in that awesome building

It really is cruel. As in, the people…
You trust someone, but then you realize it was the biggest mistake of your life or you don’t trust someone and it turns out they were right but then you can’t really TELL who is right and who is right because everyone has their own perspective and you can’t tell how much experience someone has and you just list to everyone and get confused about everything and don’t understand what’s going on so you do istikharah and make lots of dua’a and still feel miserable but you leave everything on Allah and relax.
And then you realize that you really are young and naive and gullible. And maybe irresponsible like your parents tell you even though you act like you’re already married with kids or something.
And I don’t feel excited about moving to the house anymore and I hate HCC before even starting it. I don’t know anyone that goes there and that’s horrible. And it’s also horrible that you took 5 months to memorize Surah Baqarah. Your teacher is disappointed with you because she had high hopes in you and thought you would ace it in 2 months. Of course, she doesn’t make it apparent but you sense it and now you want to make her happy so you decide you’re going to finish the 10 pages you have left in one week and surprise her .

Islamic schools shouldn’t hire non-muslim teachers.
If you think I’m intolerant for saying so, then it’s best if you turn around and not read this.
The first grade at the school I volunteer at has too many kids for one class, so… they had to split it into two classes and apparently, one class got a non-muslim teacher and the other the same first grade teacher the school has had for over six years. I work with the non-muslim one and I notice lots of things… little things that aren’t right.
If you can’t have non-muslim companions how the hell can your teacher be a non-muslim??
She’s a nice lady, all in all… but she yells a lot. Tells the kids not to say “wallah” in her class. “Don’t swear by God in my class!” What do you expect, it’s an Arab school!
During Science class, she asked about how some kind of landform was formed and one kid said, “Allah made it ” Haha, right on, kid… What’d she say?
“WRONG.”
Oooo… and I heard her cussing as well… Ok well, that wasn’t in front of the kids, but still, I DON’T CARE!! It’s like you’re sending your kids to a public school with an Arabic and Quran teacher (that only teaches them less than one Surah a month. C’mon, man! They’re young. They have better memory.).
And well, she always has to yell at the kids on the days I come in, or so I feel, because they keep looking at me and smiling or talking to me while working… hehehe… and then she has to yell at them to get them back to work.
This girl once said, “Sr. B doesn’t have friends.”
I think this girl hates her majorly.
“It’s okay for Sr. B to eat poison because she’s not Muslim and it’s not haram for her.”
Other girl: “So what? It’s still not good for her, even if she’s not Muslim.”
“She can still eat it.”
Cute

Man, it’s so sad… When I was in first grade in that same school, we’d go to Salah, but these kids now, they don’t know how to pray 
. That is SERIOUSLY sad.
Anyways… I feel like a dork when someone talks to me in Arabic at the school and I have tell them that I don’t know Arabic. What do I look, Arab?
I feel like none of the words they say, makes sense from what I’ve learned with my Arabic teacher.
