    Media and technology is extremely important in my life and television is my favourite pastime. I don't watch news much but when I want to I mostly do it through YouTube. The first thing I do when I go on the internet is check my e-mails.

    I haven't accumulated any personal debt, but does owing your friends count? I spend most of my money on clothes, going out for dinners and stuff I think I need like laptops and mobile phones.

    I have definitely been impacted by the recession. My friends and I have felt a big difference especially when going out. The price of food and clothes has increased. However, my income hasn't since last year, so with the same money I can't afford the same stuff I used to.

    I don't really know or care about global citizenship. I consider myself Arab but not that Arab because I'm kind of Americanised, as I was born in the US and lived there most of my life.

    Education is one of my top priorities because you need it in everyday life. Without it you won't succeed in your life. You may live but without education you won't grow in this life.
