Stroking my Australinimo
Holidays are over and everything is back open this week after a long 10 months of hard lockdown.
My youngest brother have been going to a swimming school for 6 years straight (swimming is deeply embedded in Aussie culture) and spent the majority of the last 2 years being with a halimo instructor. Yesterday when the place finally opened, I couldn't believe I heard from him that she is still there teaching.
Anyway, I was against it at the start but after watching him being taught by her in the pool and whenever my hoyoo wants a proper "no nonsense" cadaan instructor, he always insisted so you could clearly see he is determined to stay longer, thanks to her.
What made me change my views is realizing the effort she puts in to teach everyone while wearing a thick diving suit and hijab, and maintaining her perfect body...compared to about 95% of the halimos who are whales with walking abnormalities and do nothing. She is also my sister's teammate in soccer so about 50% of her daily activity is physical.
So, looking all that, I have nothing but DEEP RESPECT for her (still, she should be taking female only classes instead of full of cadaan teenage boys, imagine how much she would earn if she opens her own private classes for muslimahs??).
I can't help but wonder why can't all Muslimah be like that? Go to gyms, exercise, be trainers like her, eat clean so you can be the PERFECT FEMALE SPECIMEN. Instead of walking around obese in public spaces EVERYWHERE and becoming stereotypical because of this. How hard is it really?
