About

 

Welcome to Petra English Program’s blog!

We are a group of students from Petra University in Amman, Jordan. We range from Smurf first years to super-seniors — English to Pharmacy to Media majors — Jordanians to Palestinians to Kuwaitis to Iraqis ( + an American, t3ban).

What brings us together is a love for English and a desire to improve together.

We hope you enjoy reading about our activities and our reflections.

 

 

“I speak to these people and I speak to you because I cannot help it. I covet your eyes, your ears, the collapsible space between us. How blessed are we to have each other?

I am alive and you are alive so we must fill the air with our words. I will fill today, tomorrow, every day until I am taken back to God. I will tell stories to people who will listen and to people who don’t want to listen, to people who seek me out and to those who run.

All the while, I will know that you are there.

How can I pretend that you do not exist? 

It would be almost as impossible

as you pretending that I do not exist.”
