We are back with our guest Sarah Mohameed continuing the interview of why and how art became her voice .

Deena : Thank you for returning to us again . Continuing our interview , did you tell your parents about what happened to in school ?

Sarah : I wanted to but I was scared that my parents would tell the school and everyone would tease me more .

Deena : so what did you every time this bullying happens to you ? Any ritual or soothing words?

Sarah : Every time I get bullied , I have study hall so I would enter the school 's art room and just paint away .That's where I found my voice ! As I looked around , I saw a small ad about an art gallery for freshman students next month.

Deena : So you decided to join this gallery ? But how does that have to do with art as your voice ?

Sarah : It was how the art classroom was displayed with many of the students' art works and how each of it had an image . Just like seeing a poster of a new movie !

Deena : You mean a movie poster ?

Sarah : yeah , like if the poster had blood scenes in it , people will know right away its going to be a horror film . So I though I could paint my pain and sadness and show to everyone so that they can see how I felt being bullied .

Deena : So tell me on the day of the gallery , what happened ?

Sarah : On the day of the opening , all the students and guests were outside waiting to enter . But I wanted the judges first to see my painting .

Deena : But why ?

Sarah : Because I believe nobody told the head master about the bullying . I just had a feeling .

Deena : So you decided to use your painting to express how you were being badly treated in school to the head owner ?

Sarah : yes , and that way the people from the school office wouldn't hide anymore !

Deena : So tell me from when the gallery was open and how the head owner reacted ?

Sarah : When the front door finally opened , the head owner walked with three other adults that work in the international education system and walked around the room to view observe all art pieces created from the freshman . As he came upon my pieces and asked me why am I the only one with a dark and disturbed images . I told him the details of why using every art piece hung in my section , piece by piece and what their stories were about .

Deena : Did you have any difficulties repeating what happened to you ?

Sarah : At first yes , plus I had little tears coming out of my eyes . But knowing that the art you created doesn't stop or question you , it just gives a hand providing the image of what you have experienced .

Deena : What did the head owner do after hearing your story ?

Sarah : He asked to be excused for a moment and went to one corner of the gallery with the other three adults . After discussing for I guess was about ten minutes , one of the three adults went to the door and asked for my teachers to come inside . The head owner looked disappointed as he talked the staff and teachers of the school .

Finally everyone stopped talking and the head owner walked towards me and say that on behave of the school of education and himself , he apologized and asked foe the all the girls who is bullying the freshman in the school .

Deena : So what happened to the girls who bullied you ?

Sarah : The head owner had all the bully girls out of the school and send to a school ( kind of like a juvenile /reform ) for six months until further notice .

Deena : What about your parents ?

Sarah : They came to the show and were asked to talk with the head owner . After they talked and saw my art pieces , they asked me how I was and why they didn't tell em .

Deena : So you believe that art is a special place to find what you are looking for ?

Sarah : Yes ! Art made me be strong and brave ! I advise everyone to appreciate and accept art as your true friend !
