Like every year, 2017 had its own ups and down. But this year was quite different from my previous years. It was the year when I had stepped into a new phase of my life, where I was the adult who had to make her own decisions. I have already written a summary blog post on my Inspirational blog – 2017 In One Word and let’s just say this is a more detailed breakdown of my year 2017.
Janauary 2017 – I graduated
Alhamdulilah I graduated with a degree in Psychology. All hard work paid off.
February 2017 – My parents went for Umrah
Though I wasn’t able to go along with them but I felt grateful that they went because this meant I could have lots of Zamzam water and dates when they are back. Oh, and along with those came my favourite cottage cheese croissants, something I always enjoyed as a kid.
Look out for an upcoming blog post where I will be recommending some tried and tested recipes from the internet.
April 2017 – I got a job I once desired for
I was offered the job of a proof reader and editor and that had taken me over the moon. MashAllah.
July 2017 – I got to work as a Montessori teacher
I only worked at the school for two months but I would say this was another turning point in my life because it made me realize what I really wanted in life.
September 2017 – I became certain about what I wanted to do in life
This month I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life and this was the month that brought me lot of peace.
October 2017 – I took the first step towards my dream project
I finally initiated my project idea. The website is still under construction but you can check out its Facebook page, ZaiIdris Circle of Parenting and Teaching.
November 2017 – My university mate and a good friend got married
Yes, another friend got married and we made some more awesome memories. From the surpise bridal shower to her wedding day selfies, it was perfect!
December 2017 – My childhood friend gave me the best surprise
It was one of the best surprises from out of all the years. It was a surprise to celebrate my graduation (I know a bit late) but it was fantastic! Just look at the picture below.
