Introduction
What God gave me is in every woman around , but we deal with things in different ways.
I believe its the way we see things . As to me , I may see in a woman the greatest beauty of a Girl that is invisible to the eye but reached by the heart. The support of a Wife that is powerful beyond measure. A Hard Worker in her fullest potential to fight for her own dreams. The giving of a Mother that is probably the most valuable career a woman can receive . The wisdom of a Grandmother that is greater than natural laws. A WOMAN is in love who can draw roses and Jasmin and willing to draw Dragons in her defense !!
I appreciate my God's Gift To Me , being a WOMAN
Background
My childhood atmosphere was very conservative, never had the space to know who is Shireen and what does she want. Got married in my late 19's and started slowly to create my own world. My first challenge began by continuing studying Fine Arts University, Graphic sector, while being obligated with marriage responsibilities. Gifted from God with two kids after finishing my studies and out of motherhood instinct my first devotion priority in commitment were to my son and to my daughter as I believe in a mission of a mother who rears successfully healthy children whose souls will be exerting an influence through ages deserves the highest honor and support.
I taught and learned, gave and received a lot through this wonderful experience .
Aside of it ,in my convenient times I achieved small projects in the Interior Decoration field as a part timer plus Community Service Volunteering as I believe " volunteering is not a choice, its a responsibility" .
So by their second half of teenagers , I was totally ready to continue freely my own challenges. In no time I got my Diploma and am in my Masters first year procedure !
Professional Issue
Since Art, Creativity, People, Passion and Purpose…are my own interest ,so they are also my Professional Issue. I wrote my two books " Thoughts of Little girl Mestekka " social short stories from our daily life to highlight and refresh the positive attitude for living a healthier life. My second book is on its way to be published which is " With Health and Happiness" and its all in quotes to support morally our weakness times www.shireenaklwritings.com
On the other hand I work from another angle of creativity in the interior decoration field as a part timer cooperating with other interior companies and showrooms as separate projects.
I also writes as an interior consultant interior articles in private interior magazines and occasionally in our newspapers.
" Shireen Akl- Studio " is the shell from which all my creations comes out to the light , Paintings, Writings, Interior and Community Service Volunteering www.shireenak.com
I believe that " artists don't worry so much about being financially viable, so they try everything .They get to be more experimental."
I also think the most hitting goals in your life is when your professional issue expresses the YOU in you . When you are capable to get out whats going on on the inside of you . When you see a bunch of your creations like an album. They are all different they are all yours !!
Personal Issue
I wanted to open to my son and to my daughter all of the doors that were closed to me by giving them the chance to continue studying in Switzerland and their internships are open to everywhere around the world which keeps them exposed to all and different cultures.
Over and above, part of my own personal satisfaction is to serve my community voluntarily as I believe that "Volunteers don't get paid not because they are worthless but because they are priceless ".
I believe that I owe my community a little of what God gave me.
Satisfiable I shared in developing a poor village in Egypt with
30,000 inhabitants through the Rotary Organization and the Government while my Rotary Year Presidency 08-09 www.omdinar.com
Meanwhile am the Chairperson of the Mega Project in District 2450 - Egypt - for the Rotary Year 10-11 which is developing another four poor villages with the same concept of the previous successful one.
When you read my story you may think that everything was just in front of me ! But on the contrary , I adapted and created my own world according to whats available to me plus fighting for the unavailable ones. What I am is what I chose according to my atmosphere.
Again and always am proud being a Woman !
