One of the amazing experiences I have ever had was the chance to spend a night with an American family.
Ghinwa, a student from Lebanon, and I spent our second night in the USA with an American family. Mr. Saied and Mrs. Maryam took a good care of us. I took them as a father and a mother in the USA. In fact, one day I was doing some shopping with Mrs. Maryam and I run into a friend at the supermarket. Spontaneously, I found myself introducing Mrs. Maryam as my mother in the USA!
Both Mr. Saied and Mrs. Maryam were very kind and generous with us. Moreover, having fun there is not the only thing that I am happy about, because that experience showed me the real life style of an American family. And, staying with that family in particular rectified my idea of how Muslims are treated in the USA, since the family was a Muslim one that has been in the USA for over 30 years.
