In their own words

Looking for love

I came to US when I was 6 years old from Turkey. My parents believe in God but their religiousity doesn't extend very far beyond that. I was raised to fast during Ramadan, not eat pork or drink alcohol, and to be a good person. I was also not allowed to have boyfriends. I've never worn hijab, except the few times I performed namaz with my Muslim friends/ relatives in Turkey. College was the first place I met more Muslims by joining my college's Muslim Student Association. Apart from the MSA, every Friday, I met for Quran interpretations with the Turkish muslim students around the Philly area (I went to school not too far from Philly). I've been a good girl growing up- especially when it came to school and being at the top of my class. However, I've always felt split between two worlds when it came to my nationality and religion. At an age when all the students conformed to fit in, I was the only student who fasted during Ramadan (I've fasted since I was 9!). I always felt like a misfit and that's not a good feeling. Yet I never gave up on fasting because that was one of the few things I had that tied me to Islam. I'm not the best muslim because I don't wear hijab nor do I pray 5 times a day, and when I do pray, it's not always in Arabic- I pray the way a Christian would pray. Now that I am a few years out of college and into my professional career, I would like to meet somoene to marry. No one has a similar background as me- at least I haven't met him yet. Are you out there?
