Bridges

The compelling experience must go on and inevitably, it does just as my life-long education travels full-circle again and again. As someone who is compelled by experience itself, the Nature and Design of the Compelling Experience serves as a reminder that my eyes and mind should remain open and that we as humans must exercise this function as any other in order to keep it functional. When we are not aware of our ability to recognize beauty or when we are not able to feel compelled, we perhaps become mediocre, worse the images in our head no longer appear; we are stagnant in our development.

As an educator, I am compelled to enlighten my students. What I choose to teach my students first and foremost is ethics and appreciation for what is real and good. I usually begin with the following questions: "What makes a good teacher?" and "What makes a good learner/student?" as an activity to motivate my students' thinking in regards to their educational needs and wants. I hope that what follows is recognition. This desired recognition may not emerge instantly but over time it should manifest. I feel that this manifestation is the result of the compelling experiences we encounter consciously or subconsciously.

What Compels My Girl Students in Saudi Arabia:

Honor killings compel me. Hearing about an honor killing makes me feel like hitting someone. It's so unjust and sexist. How come they don't kill males for misbehaving? Why is this discrimination of females so widely accepted? Without females the human race wouldn't exist. People need to start thinking and they need to grow up! Sometimes I wish that I could dig a big hole and throw all those men who kill their female relatives in it and burn them alive. People who kill for honor are uneducated and in my opinon the worst people out there. So they think that they can control women like women are animals? And if she disobeys they can murder her or chop her head off? I don't think so. Someone needs to make very strict rules against it. If I was a judge, I would give these murderers the electric chair. -Samar Abu-Shamma

Reading amazing novels compels me to write. It makes me want to be a writer when I grow up. I give up after a while, but then I read another novel and I feel like writing again. This summer I'm going to work on writing a novel. Reading other authors' novels compel me to write. I hope that everything turns out fine!

Definition of the word by Yasmine
"Compel"If this word were to be a feeling for me, it would be negative. If a person compels me, it would make me feel discomfort. It would make me feel stressed and and angry. I would feel like I do not have time to do anything or that my time is limited. Still, I realize that compelling a person could be in a good sense or the opposite. It could be a compliment in a sense that a person could 'compel' you and say that you mean a lot to them and he or she takes up a huge space in your live. In a bad way, by saying they 'compel' you and don't like you and want to harm and cram your life into one little box.
