Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. Nothing can stop the blue hens from achieving their goals and their missions, and for this purpose they are willing to work hard and break all the struggles in order to change the world.

The MEPI programme is giving us the power and the opportunity to explore the US and learning about its culture which is the frame of the fabulous history made by the brave men and women. All the students have been showing their interest and their eagerness to study and develop their leadership abilities in order to alter their surroundings, bring the best for their countries, and realize what they have been dreaming about.

The last week we were in San Diego which was the best experience that we could ever try, we traveled with huge enthusiasm, it was clear that we were as keen as mustard to explore this beautiful city which shows one of the images of the diversity in the United States. Traveling with the team including the staff and our program coordinator was such an spectacular experience and adventure since we are one family under the big motto of “dare to be first “, and “we are here to change the world”……every single word in those sayings was meant and in every time we say them we feel our power, our existence, and our willingness to make all our dreams true. Let me express how much we admire the San Diego State University, being inside is one of the inspiration that makes you feel the glory of the states and smell the freedom of a long struggling calling for the magnificence of this country.  You can admire every thing that the Americans tolerate and believe in including the freedom of the religion and the sanctification of the education and the higher research.

After a study tour on the campus of San Diego State University, we went to the place where we started to really believe in ourselves and and our visions became ahead of us, this place was the The  School of Peace Studies of the University Of San Diego.  Here we learned many things and we got an idea that every single one of us can generate and promote peace through the exchanges programme and through the projects that can use as a bridge of peace and tolerance between the nations.  Also we had  a lot of examples of peace buildings in different part of the worlds and we get to know a good example of youth working hard to make the people believe in what they do, to push the wheel of the development in their countries, and clear the dust and the darkness of wars and discrimination. This really served to us as a role model after finishing this bounteous conference we had the time to explore this beautiful city and San Diego Zoo was the best example of the modernity and the creativity of the Americans.

When we heard that we are going to Disneyland all the MEPIs went crazy and they started counting the days to rock this amazing place,, and true it was the best adventure ever for everyone.  Indeed it was a tiring day but we had great fun especially starting by the leadership activity which cleared our visions and made us react as true leaders and gave us a brief history about this place and about the great leader Walt Disney who started from the bottom and using the lowest means to create  the place called the dream for everyone.  Thank you Dr. Tracey,  you were a good guide and we had unforgettable moments with you and the other staff as well.

After this trip, we headed back to our sweet home Delaware to pursuing our works and our classes: ”Time for hard work dears”.

The high spirit of the students never stops beside the support and the help of our teachers and the staff as well to make us realize our projects and take the best of this experience.  Our journey is about to end, but with all the things we learned and all the knowledge we embraced, I can say simply that we are ready to  engage in our societies and make the change because we are here to change the world.
