The school Hajar attends teaches classes in English. However, all the students that attend the school are at least multilingual (can speak several languages). The students can speak English, French and Darija (a regional dialect of Arabic that is unique to Morocco). To say hello in English is "Hello". In French, it is "Bonjour". In Darija, one can say hello by saying "Ahlan" (Ah-lan) or "Saalam" (Saa-lam).
Hajar says that common kids's names in Morocco are Omar, Hajar and Fatima. But she has met a lot of people named Adam, Amon, Chaima (Chai-ma) and Salma (Sal-ma).
Hajar studies AP Chemistry, AP Literature, AP Statistics, Comparative Politics and Government, Music, French II, Speech and Debate, and a senior project. Hajar does not have a favorite class, but does have a favorite teacher. Her favorite teacher is a very hard teacher and he teaches a hard class: Statistics. Hajar likes learning new things and challenging herself to find out more.
Hajar has a lot of homework. Sometimes her homework is easy, but sometimes it is very hard. When the homework is very hard, she works on it until 2:00 a.m and then wakes up early to try to complete it. Hajar doesn't like to give up on homework. She likes to keep trying and working until she can get it right.
