Skype!

Today in class we are getting the chance to talk to the Egyptian Lady. We went over who was going to ask some of the questions. We all are pretty much going to get the chance to ask one of our questions.
I was going to ask" Were you put in any life or death situations?" We were all excited and just wait to get to call her. We called her and the first time she didn't answer. We then sent a message, but then we sent called and she answered! 
  Sarah Mourad has been learning English since the first grade because she went to an English school. She only speaks Arabic and English. Most Egyptians don't speak English. They only know how to say things like hello or how are you. There schooling is 5 years, then 3 years, then high school is 3 or 4 years. She went to an American school in Cairo. Shes been doing Beatles Videos on Facebook for one year. For 5 years shes been making other videos. She has never been to the United States, but she knows some Americans. Kamau went first and he asked having the president step down how will it help? She said they need to get money back. They need to first there country and put things back together. She doesn't know what is going to happen next because this has never happened before. People have become more aware though. She has a feeling that it will get better. She didn't know anyone who wanted him to stay the leader. The worst things she saw were the Innocent people dying. They were fighting for their country. Most of the riots didn't take place near her home though. Some of friends were in the riots, but none of her friends weren't seriously injured. I asked How did you use Facebook and Twitter to connect to other Egyptians? Facebook started everything. She said that they sured Facebook a lot because they made groups. They used twitter too to say what was happening and the television. She said that know everything is safe and there were teens that went to clean up the street. What happened really helped and she is very proud to be a part of this history. She was happy with the way the riots went. It was peaceful and there was no leader of it. Everything was organize, they were all there for one reasons. It was so much fun to talk to her!
