Hello

Hello everyone,

I'm Hadeel from Saudi Arabia. I would like to talk to you about how I got accepted to attend the Mosaic Summit. First, I got an e mail from a friend of mine, it was about the summit. It was a Friday and I just came home with my husband after having lunch at my in-laws house where we left our kids playing with their cousins. My husband was having his afternoon nap and I was on the computer. Any way, I got the e mail, read it, and feverishly decided to apply. What did I have to lose? I was going to turn 35 in August this year so I might as well apply because this would be the only chance that I would have in my entire life. So with my heart pounding I tried to finish the very long application. I say my heart was pounding because of a couple of reasons; I was afraid to change my mind, I didn't want my husband to see me and discourage me, and I wanted to finish before the kids came home-as they can come by foot. Well I guess you know the rest, the e mail which I could not believe I got! Then the interview which I said awful things in that I regret till this day! Seriously I don't know how they chose me!! And lastly, the CONGRATULATIONS! What a journey and it still hasn't begun!

This is the first time I have ever blogged and I seem to like it : )

Take care

Hadeel
