Assignment 4.1

My name is Zeyad Chreim. I was born on September 3, 1966,

in Beirut, Lebanon. I lived in Beirut until I finished high school

at 19. After graduation, my country was involved in a civil war

so my father sent me abroad for safety reasons. For ten

years, I traveled around Europe, visiting Switzerland, Italy,

France, England, Ireland, Scotland, the Netherlands, Belgium,

Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Austria, Greece, Spain,

Cyprus, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. During that time, I

learned about many different cultures and met many different

kinds of people.

 

In 1995, I went back to Lebanon and started working on a

university degree in business administration. I graduated in

1998 and decided that I would pursue the career I really

wanted, which was to become a math teacher. In 1998, I went

back to school again and earned teacher certification for

secondary education in math. Then in May 2000, I moved to

the United States and received citizenship through my mother.

Now, I live in Texas and am pursuing yet another degree. This

time, however, it is a masters degree in instructional

technology. This is my first semester, and I need lots of As!

My hobbies include computers, sports, reading, and of course,

traveling, and writing poems.
