I used to think 1000 times before I get the courage to say "Hi" to him!
I used to change my direction so I wouldn't have to pass next to him and say "Hi" !
When he passes next to me I used to scratch my right ear with my cell phone in a pretend that I am calling someone..  so I don't look rude when I ignore him...

I am talking about one of the best instructors at the Uni .. I have been always looking at him as a great teacher and person.. but for some reason I found it really difficult to talk to my male instructors! I found it hard to dare and have eye contact with them..

Today my office is next to theirs.. the person whom I mentioned at the begining deals with me now as a colleague.. and I look at him now as a big dear brother!

we even walk togather now at the University's passages and talk !!!!!
 
Thank you Mr. Mohammed for being such a patient instructor and a welcoming person..
