i have a dream by martin luther king

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."2
My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride,
From every mountainside, let freedom ring!
And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.
And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.
Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.
Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.
But not only that:
Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.
From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:

Free at last! Free at last!

Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!3

My vacation trip to the UK

My father came and told us that we are going to the UK. We went by Gulf Air. We flew from Riyadh to Manama, Bahrain. From Bahrain, it took us about 6 hours to London.

We arrived in  London, UK at terminal 4 Heathrow International Airport. The airport was good and amazing. We took a hotel taxi and went to Lexham Gardens hotel. In evening we went to see the aquarium and London Eye. Then we also saw the Big Ben. I saw the Shard which was a huge skyscraper. Then we went to eat dinner at our family friend's house. Next day we went near Green Park where we saw a live event at 2:00 pm. On the way back to the hotel, we saw Hyde park. Later on, we went to eat dinner in Mint Leaf restaurant. We also saw the guards changing parade. After that we went to Harrods departmental store which is one of the world's most famous destinations for shopping. I bought a formal pant there for 49.99 pounds. Later we went for Friday prayers at a local mosque. We then went to a Japanese shop and I bought a jacket there. Later on, we went to visit our uncle's house.

Next day we went to Scotland where we had an apartment in Edinburgh. We saw a  man with a stick in his hand and floating in the air. We went to highlands which was very beautiful. We also went for boat ride after returning to Edinburgh. We went to see the underground city as well. We saw so many Indian, Australian, Japanese and Malaysian tourists. Next day we went to Preston where we visited our friend's house. In the evening we went to Blackburn and saw swimming Olympic stadium from outside. We went see the movie, Barfi and then the whole boys group went to stay in my friend's house. Next day we packed our bags and left in the night for Cardiff.


We reached Cardiff at our uncle's house. it was a massive and a huge house. We stayed there for three days. We went to eat dinner in Bosporus restaurant. The next day we went for shopping in Marks and Spencer and we ate dinner in Lilos restaurant. The next day I went with my brother to the plane area where he was flying the plane and I was clicking pictures from the plane. After that we went back to the house and I packed my bags. We left for Heathrow by car and our flight was at 9:00 pm. We arrived in Bahrain at 6:00 am and left for Riyadh at 8:00 am.

I liked UK because their people were well mannered and respected the customer. If I get a chance to go to the UK again, I will go at any cost.
