Welcome to my webpage. This is the first page Ii've ever tried working on so stop giggling aight..!
First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Jamaal, a 20-year-old student. I'm currently doing my final year in Advanced Diploma for I.T Practitioners. Even though it wasn't my primary intention to study computingat all, I somehow ended up studying it and i now find it really interesting. When i first started it, my first year of Software Development and Data Processing was challenging; rather gruelling, but I just managed to accomplish it. Wise men say that "Education is bitter but the fruits of it are sweet" and that definately is true.
Education aside, now the purpose of me creating this web site was for my poems as I said. I think nothing else would have made me create a web page.....because quite frankly I wouldn't know what to fill i tup with. I started writing poetry not very long ago...just about a few years ago.
And before writing verses of poetry i regularly used to read books, mainly poetry which usually used to grab my attention.
I was incredibly inspired by great poets such as Robbert Herrick, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Shakespeare and his sonnets, Isaac rosenberg, William B. Yeats, Oscar Wilde and so on. I can still remember clearly the way I felt on completion of my first poem (I wish): a sigh of extreme excitement and relief, a feeling so grand and majestic that I treated myself lavishly to a banquet. I to all intents and purposes wrote that poem for a female-friend I dearly loved and adored. I couldn't narrate my feelings and sentiments to anyone so the only way to express my feelings was to write them down on a piece of paper.which is what I did. From that day on I started putting pen to paper and writing about anything that I could think of. My mind was over-flowing with notions and paper was in abundance. You won't be able to tell personally whether what you wrote is decent and good untill and unless others witness your work and approve it. Most friends read the Poems and acknowledged them, but suddenly out of the blue a Poetry Contest emerged at my college. It was the Valentine's day Poetry Contest, so I decided why not submit a poem to see just what happens. But amazing and beyond my expectations, I won the Second Prize in the contest. It clearly was an awe-inspiring thrill for me. I was awarded with a bottle of champagne which of course I refused to take and a box of Ferrero Rocher chocolates. I still have many unfinished peoms and will be completeing them soon insha-Allah. The latest poem i wrote is "Seeing You Cry" which I actually wrote and added to the web page on the 19/10/03.
Family:
My mother, Xalwo Jaamac is bright and beautiful. She has rigid standards of whats "right" and whats "wrong" and they never changed. Her loyalties are legendary.
My father Bashir Said Ibrahim is a noble gentleman, devoted and a compassionate father. As in the typical old Somali tradition, my father married FOUR wives, all of whom he is contentedly and with enthusiasm married to now. Therefore, Alxamdullilah i have plenty Brothas and sistas. (Maasha-Allah). I am the Third-Born in my family and all of my family is at the moment living in Somalia and are by the grace of God doing very well. I left my mother, father, brothas and sistas at the age of 5, in pursuit of education. Since then and during the brutal massacre in Somalia i lived with my cousin and his family who really supported and raised me with the highest degree of love and affection. they are my spiritual family.
Friends and personality:
We all are travellers in this wilderness of the world and all we need is an honest and caring friend. without friends no one would choose to live, having been provided with all other goods. Friends i've had many. but a friend to all is a friend to none, thats why i chose my friends carefully and picked out the most reliable and honest. Personally i can't describe myself in detail...coz that would be interpreted as singing my own praises. I can say am an extrovert and quite a person with a plesant personality.
