I'm passionate about

Football (soccer) , I think it's the best way to forget all your problems and to have 90 minutes full of excitement

The TED story

A few years ago my friend and I were sitting at college..we were talking about our experiences and achievements that we have made since arriving to university-and honestly-It's hard to say it but there wasn't a lot to talk about..and suddenly a girl came by and handed us a leaflet and told us before leaving (smiling): you don't want to miss the opportunity !.. I looked at it and read with loud voice:"TEDxKhartoum ! Ideas worth spreading !! "..it looked like an event's invitation for me ! "sooo.. why don't we register ?..I mean we are not losing anything, right?"-my friend told me, and so we did. A few weeks later and exactly at 8:15 am I was there , the hall was filled with attendees who couldn't hide the features of happiness and excitement on their faces,and I couldn't know why !..yet. A few hours later...and after the end of the event ..I looked at the hall's main door and i totally knew that ..that Ahmed who enetered that door isn't the same Ahmed who was coming out of it
