I am Muslim on paper. I have always been a believer but never associated myself deeply with Islam. I woke up to sounds of the morning prayer every day of my life. To me, the sound of prayers were the reminders of the political polarisation in the country, rather than a religious practice.
Today, I still identify as a Muslim because it is convenient. But deep down, I know that I do not see myself confined to any rules of any religion. I pray once in a while. I show gratitude and thank God regularly.
During my time at Georgetown, I realised that my sense of gratitude has increased immensely! Therefore, I have become a more spiritual person as a college student. This might not be a common experience for most college students, yet I am so glad that my sense of gratitude has deepened.
