My Poem

  Hope

By Mohamed Nour

On every blank wall

There is a window

For every locked door

There is a key

Behind every cloud

There is a rainbow

After every nightmare

Comes a dream

For every devil

There is an angel

For every desert

There is a sea

And for every dark tunnel

There is a light

Qualities of a good friend

It is very difficult to find a good, true friend that you can trust. A true friend is the one to whom you can tell your deepest secrets knowing that he will never share them with others under any circumstances. A true friend is always there for you to share your happiness and sorrow. True friendship can start suddenly but it takes time to build. It’s hard to describe the true friend’s qualities, as they are enormous and countless.

A really true friend must be loyal, trustworthy, kind and faithful…

Loyalty is a great quality that everybody desires in a good, true friend. A loyal friend never seeks any help from you. He is always around even if you move or change school or job, and he will try his best to stay in touch despite how busy life is.

Trustworthy is another great quality of a true friend. A trustworthy friend will never betray you, you can trust him knowing that he will keep your secrets and will never share them with others.

Kindness is another crucial quality of a good friend. A kind friend cares about you and gives you attention more than anyone else.

Finally faithfulness is another major quality of a true friend. A faithful friend is someone you can trust, have confidence and rely on him. You are always sure that he will be there for you whenever you need him in good and bad times.

In conclusion a true friend is a precious and rare quality that is difficult to find. Anyone can have dozens of friends but only can have one or two true friends. A true friend is like a diamond; he is valuable that’s why if you find him you have to do your best not to loose him under any circumstances. You can find a true friend once in a lifetime. "There is nothing on this earth to be prized more than true friendship."

~ St. Thomas Aquinas

The Constitution

A constitution is basically a set of laws that defines the rules and the regime of the state. It also regulates the fundamental right of individuals. State rulers cannot cross these laws. It definitely plays a major role in the country because without it chaos will take place.

The first constitution was written in Athens 621 BC, it was named “Draco”, it replaced the oral law by a written code. The laws were particularly severe. For example, any debater whose status was lower than that of his creditor was forced into slavery. The death penalty was the punishment of minor crimes.

On the other hand Egypt has a constitution like all other countries, however, as we all know Egypt is going through a very tough phase right now. Egyptians are confused, there is a very big debate between people right now some say they want to elect a president before writing the constitution, while others want to write the constitution before the presidential elections. 

In my opinion I think we should write a constitution before electing a new president, because as we all know the main problem, before the revolution was that the former president Mubarak tried to change some terms in the constitution to give himself a privilege to allow his son to take his place. On the other hand the previous president Mubarak was changing the constitution on his own way in consequences he ruled the country for over thirty years.

Constitution First!

In conclusion I think we should elect a committee to write a constitution first. They also should write two main laws; the first one is that the president is forbidden to change in the constitution without the help of this committee; the second one is that the president should not be elected more then twice every four years.
