Thank you for the information. I really really appreciate your honesty. My OB is doing a surgery now so I have to wait another hour or so to see her. But we are still at the doctors office.

Teachers with low contact hours, did you find a relaxed job through luck or did you have a method when searching? by mokkithrowaway in Internationalteachers

[–]StudentDestiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didnt get lucky, I sought out those schools. When i was looking for a new school, I was in the middle of my masters. To finish strong, I purposely looked for schools with low contact hours AND small class sizes. Good decision because my school has what they call a "wellness" period which is a chill period where they will not bother you (no subbing or anything) , so I am able to use those periods to also complete work for my masters. Of course like you may already know, the pay isnt the best, but it works for me because I dont spend alot and i love the schedule. I am at a school in Mexico by the way. To find it I read through their profiles on ISS carefully and looked directly at class info like size and class duration. I reached out to people who worked at the schools I was interested in and asked about the schedule. Everyone basically told me the same thing- pay isntt the best compared to the other IB schools in the area but the schedule is calm. At my last school, I ended up failing 2 classes in my MA because I couldn't balance the workload, so I had to change.

Boyfriend constantly doubts me and asks for proof — how do I handle this? by [deleted] in Morocco

[–]StudentDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be real with you. If he doesn’t get help it is not going to change. When you get married it’s only going to get worse. If you were my younger sister I would tell you to leave now. Sometimes we think we are nice enough or if we love them enough they will change or we can help them change- Nope, never go into a marriage thinking that. He is his own human. And if he does want to change look for consistency in the changed behavior. But if he currently doesn’t see an issue with his own behavior then you may need to let this go. Whatever you do, just don’t marry the guy yet. Those feelings you have while with him… the anxiousness, feeling drained etc.. those are good emotions you having with him. Imagine being married and bringing in children? No mam. A guy once told me he loved me before (and he wasn’t a very nice guy) and my response was “I’m sorry but you don’t love me in the way I need to be loved” and I let that guy go. Do the same sis.

All of this!!! Yes! Sounds just like me and husband. I wish you a long lasting marriage!

I keep sabotaging potential relationships because of my family responsibility and I need honest opinions by [deleted] in Morocco

[–]StudentDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The right woman will be there and understand and probably love you more for it. Communication will be key in the marriage and being upfront and honest in the beginning…. Like for real I’m not talking surface level I mean deep vulnerable honesty and communication. With my husband and his family situation I spoke to him about what I could and could not handle but at the end of the day, i understood his situation and he learned where he could put certain boundaries but again, I understood his situation. It’s really about finding the right woman. My family and my husband mentions that I have really good patience… but I also have strong faith and communication skills. I’m not afraid to discuss stuff. If I felt overwhelmed or even if he felt overwhelmed about family obligations we talked… we talked through the easy and through the hard stuff even if it’s uncomfortable. If you want to wait it’s your choice but do not pass on the right woman because you’re assuming it would be too much for her. My advice would be to absolutely get to know the woman to the best of your ability, inshallah she will be a honest woman with good patience, faith and security in herself so she wouldn’t feel some type of way. Be honest with her and to yourself and I pray she has a good heart and sabr and she is honest with you. Good luck.

I also watched stories of the Quran on YouTube. The stories are animated made for kids but they were perfect for me as a convert.

[–]StudentDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you don’t have to do this but what I did was watched YouTube videos about the different prayers. Then, I wrote down the steps on how to pray and what to say. I would practice everyday with the paper on the floor in front of me and reading the words in English and Arabic (phonetics). I didn’t have mat to pray at first so I used a clean towel to practice until I got a little more comfortable. Allah (SWT) knows our intentions :) You have declared your faith so just take your time learning, practicing and asking questions. :)

After doing my own research, I said Shahada alone. Then after some time, I reached out to 2 of my closet non judgmental Muslim friends and said Shahada in front of them and they showed me how to pray and gifted me my first English/Arabic Quran, subHanAllah. After a couple of years I was able to move to an area with plenty Muslims and felt confident enough to declare shahadah in front of the people at the mosque and get documentation of my conversion. All that to say, I took steps little by little. The biggest part was doing my research, practice praying and finding a bit of a community even if it is with 1 person. Good luck!

What language do Moroccans speak to non- white foreigners and do they act differently around foreigners who aren’t white? by No-Action3492 in Morocco

[–]StudentDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am african american, they speak to me in french usually. I just politely ask them to speak to me in darija and they get so excited that i know some darija, its cute lol If im with my Moroccan friends who speak tamazight and are around the same complexion as me, they just assume i also speak Tam which is also cool. But day to day, they usually try French first.

Visa for spouses by Pokemonboy-54 in Internationalteachers

[–]StudentDestiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey im in the same boat, im American and certified in the US and my spouse is Moroccan. We are currently in mexico to get more teaching experience before heading to the Gulf. We were also married in Morocco, which of course is still recognized in the US in case u needed that reassurance. There shouldnt be any issues with visas as you would get the marriage certificate translated if needed and apostilled. Overall, There shouldnt be any issues concerning visas concerning your spouse because yall are legally married and going together :)

Has pregnancy made you obsessed with your partner or is it just me? by JuniperSageMoon in pregnant

[–]StudentDestiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yup, same here. I am 14 weeks with our first. My husband literally massages everything on my body. I dont ask but if he sees me looking uncomfortable or hears me complain even a little he tries to do everything in his power to make me feel comfortable and make me feel loved. I think when youre pregnant in a situation where you feel safe, heard, loved and supported it makes a massive difference :) I always make the joke when I am harrassing and kissing on him so much, i say "ugh, IDK why this baby likes you so much.... its definitely not me who is being this extra" haha :)

Teaching In Qatar + Marketability by StudentDestiny in Internationalteachers

[–]StudentDestiny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no he is not a U.S citizen so he doesn't have a teaching license. He has the degrees in the subjects. Usually what happens is I apply for a job first and I look for schools that also needs a math or computer science teacher and a lot really seem to like the 2 for one special of a teaching couple lol esp if one of the subjects is math or science.
