I have so much to tell you, I dont know where to begin! Remember last summer when I told you that I was planning to enter the Al Shoban Magazine essay contest? Well, I entered, and my essay, "Improve the 10th ," won! The prize was a weekend trip to Hebron, with a visit to the Shoban's offices to see how they publish the magazine each month. Three of us were chosen to go from Jordan: two other contest winners, and .myself My mom took me to the airport for the flight to Amman, and I have to admit I was nervous! Ive flown before, but never without my parents. But when we got to the airport and met the other people in our group, I relaxed. The group leader, Firas Al Ja'bary , was really friendly and easy to talk to. He is in charge of marketing. While we waited for our flight, he described the activities wed be participating in that weekend. He also introduced me to the other winners. Omar is from Amman , and hes 13 years old like me. He won a prize for the series of photographs he took when his family drove across the country last summer. The other winner is a 15-year-old boy named Ahmad El Hamory . El Hamory won the Al Shoban community spirit award for cleaning up and improving the .neighborhood parks in his town Before I knew it, we were landing in Hebron. At the airport, we were picked up in a limousinejust like celebrities! We drove to the Al Shoban offices downtown. All during the ride, El Hamory,Firas and I were pressed up against the windows like little kids, staring at the buildings and the people we passed. You wouldnt believe how different Amman from Hebron ! The colours, the smells, the noiseseverything is different.
