Max's shout trail with -ROSE- - Help.com

Hey fran. I won’t be on here for a while, but I have opened my email to you. :)

Hello Fran! :)
So that little guy is pretty famous in your part of the world. Cool. I bet your dad is a pretty interesting guy. Does you mom seem to like living in Jordan?

The move was actually rather easy, because I was really moving back to everything that mattered most to me. I lived in Tucson, Az and I moved to Chicago, IL. All my family is in this part of the U.S. I only lived in Tucson for six years. It is nice to be back near family. It was very hard to leave the close friends I had in Tucson and my students, but my heart was here with my family and close loved ones.

I love teaching. Love it. I didn’t know I wanted to be a teacher until I was 28 years old.

What does your father think about the United States’ role in the Arab world? What do you think?

Max :)

hi max!
that’s ok lol.

the little man is writing what is pronounced as thawra hata al naser… wich means rebellion until victory. The “little man” is called hanzala. He is THE most famous characatere in the arab world. :D

My mom is actually in America right now visiting her family in San Fransisco, California. I have been there once and i loved it. The parks there are just amazing.

My dad has a Doctorate Degree in Political Science so he always kept me up to date with the issues of the Arab World. ;)

That was a really big moove. It must have been really hard to pack up and leave your friends and old house behind. Where did you move to? Do you enjoy teaching the kids? I heard it can be a really stressful job sometimes.

Please excuse the major typos in my last shout!!!!

Helllo! On your profile page there is a little man writing on a wall or into the air. I have another friend on here who is have Palestian and half American, although he lives in the U.S.

I am starting at a new school in the fall and still don’t know exactly what subjects I will be teaching. I recently moved 2000 miles. In the past I have taught English (reading and writing). I specialize in working with students with severe behavioral issues, so I work at a special school. I work with high schoolers (teenagers).

With your background I bet you have great insight into world issues. Where in the U.S. is your mother from? Have you been here before?

Max :D

hi max :D

teehee thanks… that is actually the best drawing i’ve done…

the writing above the monkey means: i don’t hear. it was part of an anime that said: i don’t hear; i don’t see; i don’t have credit!!
(instead of i don’t speak lol)

ps i don’t know which wall you mean… :S
the car doesn’t have bullets in it.. i thought it was a fun pic to put up.. that was a pic of a car part that was missing :D..

Hey Fran,

You are a great artist. That horse is amazing. I have a couple of questions. 1. What does it say above the monkey? 2. What is the man writing on the wall? 3. Does that car door in your avatar have bullets in it?
The Israeli Palestinian conflict is a sad situation. I don’t particularly like the way my country (U.S.) is not diplomatic enough and tends to be pro Israel. I think Israel often tends to act overly tough because they think they have the backing of the U.S. I am not anti Israel, I just wish the U.S. would be more neutral, be more diplomatic, and play the role of mediator.

What country do you live in?

Nah I am not working at all. I am a teacher so I start back up in the August and at that time I will probably be working my ass off. I do tend to over work, so it is nice to have time off. I am having a great summer!
How are you?

hi max :)
sorry i didn’t respond sooner. i’m doing ok atm…

i didn’t draw those pics, they were done by a famous palastinian artist who was assasinated by isrealis because of his politically charged drawings. The drawings were so powerful in their message it made people want to take a stand against the viollence and injustice done to them by the Isreali Army.

i did draw this pic of a horse though :D

and i also did a lot of immitations of his drawings on my friend’s backpacks; they look almost the same but i don’t have any pics..

how are you doing? i hope you are not working too hard. you sound like a very dedicated and motivated person!!! :D

Did you draw the pictures on your profile page?

:] Hello fran! How are you?

You are very welcome! Take it day by day, and before you know it you will be out of the house. The trick is making sure you get good grades and stay out of trouble, so when you are on your own you have the skills you need to be successful. I lived in a household I didn’t like very much, so I know what you are going through. Thank you for your kind words. I am just a shout away if you need anything. :)
Max

maximina thanks for your shout :)

but today was another day and it proved that what you said is true.
i’ll be keeping you in my prayers too. shout me if you ever need anything at all..
fran :)

Hey Franchesca I am sorry I missed your post. Hang in there and take good care of yourself, becasue before you know it you will be on your own. It might seem like time is going slowly, but you will be an adult before you know it. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers! *hug*
Max

Mocha Ice Cream Cupcakes

MAKES SIX
Prep Time: 30 min (plus chilling)

One 12-count box sugar ice cream cones
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup almonds, toasted and chopped
One 3-ounce bar semisweet chocolate, plus more for shavings
3 cups coffee ice cream, softened
1/2 cup chocolate-covered espresso beans, finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar

1. Using a food processor, grind the ice cream cones into fine crumbs. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the butter. Divide the crumb mixture among the cups of a 6-cup jumbo muffin pan and press about three-quarters of the way up the sides of each cup. Spoon 1 tablespoon almonds into each cup.
2. In a small, microwaveable bowl, melt 3 ounces chocolate at medium power in intervals, stirring occasionally. Top the almonds with the melted chocolate to cover. Freeze for 10 minutes.
3. Spoon about 2 tablespoons ice cream into each muffin cup. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon chopped espresso beans onto the ice cream and flatten with the back of a spoon. Add another 2 tablespoons ice cream and the remaining almonds and flatten again. Add the remaining ice cream and espresso beans, and flatten. Freeze for at least 1 hour.
4. Whip the cream and confectioners’ sugar until soft peaks form.
5. Run a knife around the edges of the muffin cups to remove from the pan. Top the cakes with the whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

Your avatar looks yummy! What is that tasty treat?
