a foreign student doing his phd in one of the local universities asked her if she would proofread his nearly 400-page thesis. he has been sending his dissertations and articles quite regularly for either re-phrasing or editing.
it gave her much pleasure to do this little bit for him in his studies as she learnt so much from his articles for international journals, literature reviews and others of the sort as he often focused on his home town in the middle east. his write-ups on cultural and historic conservation in one of the volatile, ancient cities were really interesting, very informative and presented yet other exciting perspectives !
and conservation, be it regarding buildings or environments, is an all time favorite topic of hers. in fact she still has in her keeping most of the international charters related to conservation.
of course she agreed to do the proofreading. she normally does about 15 to 20 pages per day. sometimes she'd do it right through the nite too! when she enjoys doing such things, it never is a burden to her!
editing and proofreading thesis of undergraduates, masters and phd students of three local universities in the various fields give her so much enlightenment and joy. it is as if she is studying all the different courses and being paid to do so!
subhanallah, the rezeki in multitudes of forms and guises from The All Mighty SWT!
