we have to admit that we live in a country where it is very difficult to be inspired to do great things or pursue greatness. our whole lives are laid out for us, either the government or your family pays for everything you need, and all that is expected in return is to behave well, do what is expected, and basically become a clone of who your parents are. that is why i believe that we are lucky to see an occurrence of a person bred from our culture that pursues greatness in their life, and we should praise them and encourage them and most of all thank them for reminding us how to get inspired to do great things!




Name: Maryam
Location: St. Petersburg, RU
A Kuwaiti girl simply dreams of being an astronaut and be the first Kuwaiti, Arab, female goes to the space.

a few days ago i received a text message from an sms news service which said that a kuwaiti girl was accepted into a russian university and is on her way to becoming an astronaut. it was then that i remembered i once passed along this blog http://q80girl.blogspot.com/index.html
it's the blog of the kuwaiti woman living in russia, following her dream.
thank you maryam for inspiring us today, and good luck on your journey and wish you could reach your goals and fulfill your dreams.

bored: Thanks for your nice post. I encourage everyone in Kuwait to follow their dreams whatever they are. I was discouraged many times and been asked to face the reality in Kuwait, but I couldn't do it. They called me a dreamer and risky as it was bad thing. But all I know is I want to take my way into space. I don't know how long it will take but I know it's possible, so why not? ;)
