My name is Abdullah Alshateri and I was born December 3, 1988 in Abu Dhabi. This town is the capital of the United Arab Emirates which is on the Arabian Peninsula. I live with my parents in our home and I have two brothers, one is Hza’a, who is 6 years older than I am. He's now married and has a son and a daughter. My second brother, AlWleed, is 3 years younger than I am. He’s in his final year of high school.

What is my hobby? Oh yeah, it was playing football. In my childhood I was keen on playing football and I was in AlJazeera Club, but unfortunately my knee got damaged and the doctor told me to stop playing for ever. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to walk anymore, so my dream to become a legend soccer player is gone.

Well, it doesn’t mean that I don’t have other hobbies. Really, reading is my real hobby, especially reading novels. My favourite author is the great Sherlock Holmes. I read a lot of novels by him such as “A study in scarlet” and “The sign of four”. Many people asked me why Sherlock Holms is my favorite writer. The answer is simple to me, due to the way and sense he writes his novels with. He also makes the story interesting and almost you feel like you live the novel.

One more hobby or interest worth mentioning is watching people, especially children, smile and pleasure. I know it is a strange hobby but this is me. Indeed, I feel good and comfortable when I see people smile and I touch the beauty of the life. That’s why it’s one of my hobbies.


At the present time, I’m a student at the ADMC. I’m in the second year which is the common year that includes English, mathematics, physics and general engineering. Before that, I studied at a high school in Abu Dhabi. In my high school years I took a course in IT. Later I got an ICDL qualification which increased my IT knowledge.

In my education journey, I think I will continue learning till I have a master’s in my major. Oh I forgot to mention that my major is electronic engineering. In the future, I also wish to have a Ph.D. but of course after I have a rest from studies. In four years later, I hope to get married and live with my family in peace.
