Didn't you know !?

Hi 4 Reading Class,

This is Ghdeer Alabdal. Although the majority of you guys know me, others like Ruth and Brazilian students may not have enough information about me. Therefore, I'm going to say that I'm from Baghdad, Capitol of Iraq. I graduated from law college in 2005. In 2007, I decided to start my master degree in law. Therefore, I took an English test, which was required at that time besides the Arabic test. Almost, I prepared the whole requirements for my master except one thing I had never thought about, the money. The tuition and the fees were unbelievably expensive, at least for me. Consequently, I dismissed this decisive choice for just one year. Foolishly, I thought. Every year, I was telling myself  "This year you should get the money you need" but I couldn't for reasons. Lately, I realized that getting money was harder than getting a permission from a college to study in. For the first time in my whole life since I decided to make my first step toward the master, I had felt it was going away from me. Fortunately, in 2010, I got a scholarship to complete my education in the US. Lucky!!
