Participation in MIST – A memorable experience!

By – Rida Hashmi (PHS)

My overall experience at MIST was greatly enriching. I had never seen so many Muslims gathered in one place and just having fun. Through MIST we were able to increase our faith and understanding of Islam. Volunteers and Coordinators made sure everything ran smoothly and everyone participated with their utmost best behavior. If it weren’t for the fact that MIST is only for high schoolers' and I am a senior, I definitely would participate again. While I am unable to participate again, these memories will be one of the fondest I’ll ever hold.
