Walaa M. Alfarra

I study English language and literature at university in Gaza and I’m enjoying it. I have always loved writing, even when no one reads my pieces, because I believe through writing I share my emotions. I can put all of my feelings into words and express myself easier. Whenever you meet me, you find me either holding my pen and notebook or with them in my bag, that’s how much I love writing. Writing to me is a form of change, and I love being rebellious and opposing the rules when necessary.

Politics and human rights are two fields I enjoy reading about since I believe we are all equal; we do not choose our nationality, ethnicity or color, so we shouldn’t be judged based on them. Everyone has a right to feel safe and protected; that’s why most of my writings focus on the injustices and corruption found in society.

I have many dreams and goals for my life, and I’m doing my best to achieve them. To achieve the life I dream of, I must keep work harder. Since I love trying everything, I find myself wanting to pursue careers in different fields. I define myself as a hardworking person seeking change and hunting her ambitions and dreams.
