  1. Hi- I am new here Welcome me, please :-)x I am here to share my problems with you my walaalahayz! hehehe! lol so please bear with me THANKS! My name is Hibaq and I always wanted to make an architecture businesses when I was 10 y/old, I always dream to make my homeland great again like the good old days in the 70's. I am actually on my second year in Cambridge, doing architecture, but I keep getting questioned every time by Somali people (especially the women), saying like, "Why do you want to be architect?", "Muslim women cannot be architect!!" etc.. "IT'S NOT GOOD FOR YOU, Be a doctor or something else. Architecture is a men job! (because they "think" I will work with only men). haha! I get stressed when I hear people talking about my life like that. I always tell my parents, if architecture is a good career for me, and they tell me stuff that I'd like to hear! But I really need some advice? Do you think me? as a Somali girl should be an architect? My future is to go back home and designs building/houses everywhere in Somalia. but I keep getting doubts on people about my career. What do you think I should do? THANKs!
