All throughout my life, we as a family have been through lots of ups and downs, but the biggest test was my mother’s health. But I am beyond blessed in that Allah has showered upon me blessing after blessing after blessing - so much so that it managed to soothe my mother’s illness in a way. And that’s my biggest contentment - not the fact that I managed to achieve all those things, but that I managed to make my parents proud, because I am nobody without my parents! Yes, this Omar Mukhtar will only be just Omar Mukhtar without my beloved Mrs Mom and Mr Dad - my pillars of strength!
But behind this Omar Mukhtar is not only his parents. I am super blessed with a super loving little brother and sister, Fatimah and Ali, my grandparents, my uncles and my aunties, my cousins and my big family. We are blessed to have each other.
Other than my own family, I am also blessed with supportive friends. I’m glad that my circle of friends is not competing to be number 1, stepping on one another to be at the top, but we help each other become number 1 together. I’m fortunate to have them in my life cos we all keep inspiring one another towards goodness. We don’t just look out for number 1, but encourage each other in everything we do.
For example, the other night, within less than an hour after TEDx posted my talk on their Youtube channel, my friend instantly sent me a snapshot. Even though he’s not a TED fan, he took time to watch my talk and not only motivated me with his kind words, but celebrated with me. And that’s just one example; there are many more who were together with me all throughout my journey.
And of course, there’s you! Yes, each and every one of you who is reading this. I am also blessed to have all of you who always support me tirelessly. I can’t possibly thank all of you enough for your kindness and support. Only The Almighty could reward you enough.
Above all, behind this Omar Mukhtar are also his amazing teachers. I have been blessed with great teachers all throughout my school life. This is one of the many examples of the kind-heartedness of my teachers. Immediately after I finished my TEDx Talk, this teacher - who doesn’t actually even teach me in the first place - sent me an email to congratulate me for it. And the title of the email? "WOW!"
I mean, what more do you want from a teacher? The title is more than enough! And the whole event hadn’t even finished, yet here he was already emailing me about our next project. I couldn’t have asked for more. I am truly humbled by his support, and I’m very blessed to be surrounded with such enthusiastic teachers like him.
I don’t think I ever would have gotten this far in my school career without the pure care and support of my teachers. They are the ones who bring the best out of me, and for that, I owe them many thanks!
Alhamdulillah,
O. Mukhtar O. Mukhlis
