My profile


My name is Bader Hamoud al-Sinanni. I was born in Abu Dhabi in the Corniche hospital on 19/ 4 1988. I live in Bani yas with my family in a small villa. I will write about my self in this essay and you will know a lot of my past which has a lot of good and bad memories.

Life as a child

The first thing I remember is my first day in school, my mother took me in the first day to my new school, I was uncomfortable because I didn’t want to go to school.
When we arrived my mom asked one of the teachers to show us my class I saw a lot of children and they where crying, from that moment my hate for schools began. I was thinking about what I will do in this place and my mom stopped in front of a closed door and said to me "This is your class be a good child " like every time I said "Sure mom " . After knocking the door my mom opened the door and introduced me to the teacher and the class. I don’t know what happened but I ran away trying to get out from that place, my mom asked the guard to follow me, at that time I succeeded to get out I arrived to the next building but I didn’t realize that the fat guard was following me. I was caught and the guard went back to school carrying me to my mom she was mad and she punished me, that is my first day in school. From this story obviously you can know how my childhood was.


My teenage years

When I was teenager my life was exciting. For example, one day one of my friends told me about an illegal car show and he wanted me to go with him and his team. I was excited so I went with them to an abandoned military base in the middle of the desert; it was 1am at night. Hundreds of people were there and the show started it was very dangers, but we didn’t care. The show was very good until the police came. All people started to run away at one time. My friends and I ran to our cars and moved fast to the gate where 30 min away. When we arrived to the gate we saw a lot of police cars and some people were caught. Then we returned back because we had two of the show cars which might be problem if the police cough us. Four police cars where following us, so we went to the desert and wait until the police left. The police cars followed us even in the desert and we close switched of our lights to make sure that the police lost but we couldn’t see anything so we stopped.


One of our friends said I think we are lost, and he was right, we are lost in the desert so we started to transfer petrol from the cars which had a lot to other cars using pipes. It was 4 am and no one knows the way back but we hoped for the best. We started to move looking for any way to go back, one of our friends said "I know this please; I will show you the way". All cars followed the man and we arrived to a road which connected Liwa to Abu Dhabi. We all were happy and we returned home. It was 5 am and I was afraid because if my father wake up and he didn’t find me I would be a dead man. I entered my home and ran to my room all my family were a sleep so I slept in peace.


My interests

One of my interests is playing football, I always want to play and learn new skills, but I have a problem in my knee so that I can’t play a lot and my father try prevent me from playing. I also like to play cards with my friends and tease them when they lose.
If I had the chance I would love to learn how to dive, because I love the marina sea.






Something which has influenced me

I think that everybody has different personalities but it can change. Many things affect me and I think I changed a lot; the person who really influenced me is my father.
One day I had a big fight with my father in the morning and I went out to college and we had a lot of work that day and my mobile phone was out of battery. I arrived home at 7pm and I saw my father waiting me in front of the house. When I came near him I saw his eyes were of tears because he thought that I had an accident and he had lost me. At that moment, I felt bad about myself and that influenced me a lot.
