Awwel ma3refty b Nooja (Aw Mrs. Mo7sen, like one of our friends used to tease her) kan f interview...kanet heyya applying 2 b a member in VIA, wana kont ba3mellaha el interview...She was soooo sweet men awwel la7za shoftaha feeha...fi nas keda yetfete7lohom alb el waa7ed men awwel mayshofhom...Engy was one of them...She was a very Puuuuuuure, friendly, and VERY kind person...Her smile was what really separated her from others...I can't remember A SINGLE time that I could have seen her not smiling...she was ALWAYS smiling masha2 Allah, even to those whom she doesn't know...
Anyway...I felt that this girl would be an AWESOME member in VIA, always willing to work and do more...and she finally became a member...
I didn't see her that much afterwards...bas el semester el ba3d kda (Fall 06)...I was taking the JRMC 400 class and I saw her in class, with her WOUNDERFUL smile...at the beginning, I remembered her face, bas couldn't remember when and where I had seen her...Bas 2 days later, I knew she was that Puuuuuure looking girl that wanted to join VIA...
Throughout this class we became Real Close friends...I remember we always used to sit beside one another, e7na w another friend (Yomna), Engy elly kanet 3arrafetny 3aleeha...We spent really nice times 2gether throughout the class...w a lot of FUNNY times too...we used to back each other up and encourage each other lamma kan 3andena presentations fel class da...and I can remember the COMFORTING look that she gave me through my presentation...SHE WAS JUST AWESOME..!! She always encouraged everyone in class even if she didn't know them...and maftekersh ennaha gat eshtaket men ay 7ad f ay youm...She loved everybody...which made me love her even more...
At the end of that semster (Fall 06), kan 3andena final exam fl JRMC 400 class...w 3ashan she was a REAL hard worker, I asked to photocopy her notes, 3ashan they were neat and organized awy masha2 Allah...(W fl midterm kaman I had studied from her notes and got 24 out of 25)... Fa el mohem, I kept on 4getting to photocopy them, le7ad lelet el exam...When I called her she told me that she was going to university at 5:00 that day, fa she would pass by to give me the notes...bas seeing that she is such a helpful and friendly person, makontesh 3ayza at3ebha, fa I took her address and went to photocopy the notes from her...She kept waiting for me for about 15 min. in the street (when it was REALLY cold..!!), w ba3deen ektashaft enny ro7t share3 3'alat mesh beta3ha, and when I called her, she told me the right way, w awwel ma shafetny, geryet 3ashan tel7a2 tegeely abl mana awsallaha, 3ashan makanetsh 3ayza tet3ebny b enny amshy keteer...!! (Can u believe it!!) W when I finally got to her, she gave me the notes, ALREADY PHOTOCOPIED, and refused to take their money...She also apologized for making me walk a long distance 2 get to her house after I had gone to the wrong place...Although I am the one who was supposed to apologize for making her wait for me in the street fel talg..!!! 5eles el semester, w gebna "A" e7na el etneen el7amdulillah...(tab3an thanks 2 her notes..).
