Everybody asked me this: Why did you convert?
How did you convert?
Who made you convert or whatever...
I don't know I've always kind of been interested in Islam like when I was 16 I was starting
to be more and more interested.
I guess when I was 13 or 14 like on September 11th I didn't like Muslims nobody like Muslims
on September 11th 2001 and I thought yeah Muslims are oppressive and Muslims are bad
and Muslims are...
But then I got to learn about Ramadan through a friend when I was like 16 or less and I
realized that these people aren't bad the religion isn't bad like certain people are
bad.
But that's the same and all religions not just Islam whatever so I told my mom when
I was in high school I'm like well I'm interested in this and if I become Muslim somewhere along
the road like don't be surprised.
Couple of months after I went to university in a different city I converted October 21st
2005 around 2 p.m. and in a donut store in the university funny of as I'd go past I've
donut store like every day I'm like hey I converted them there I did my Shahada and
I almost start crying when I did it and I didn't even know I was like really doing at
the time my friend was kind of walking through there my friend I met who's Muslim in the
university she taught me a lot she taught me some Arabic and in math class she helped
me memorize.
And I'm eternally thankful to her and God like I'm so thankful for meeting those people
and the people the Muslim people here are so nice and they've always been so kind to
me and treat me like princess.
I've had more respect for myself as a person when I become Muslim.
Because when I went to university like the stereotype is like you're gonna go drinking
and screw everybody and have sex with everybody.
I thank God it didn't start that because I think like thank God I became Muslim the fact
that did help me stop not being promiscuous not drinking alcohol and doing whatever.
It's nice guidelines for living for everybody like it's not just pork you know Arabs and
crap and no I did not marry into the religion.
I chose it for myself, alhamdulillah.
