One of My Favorite Places To Explore

 


My family is from Pakistan and there is a place I have always wanted to visit: Khewra. It is a beautiful salt mine with salts of all colors, and shapes. It is made into a building for tourists to come and visit!

The salt mine also has railroad tracks and trains which allow people to take a ride and visit the different areas of the salt mine. It is one of my dreams to go there. The lights are so beautiful! It is truly a beautiful and underrated place.

    I was excited to learn about Khewra, Zille! I didn't know that there were other salt mines like this in the world; I have been to something like that in a place called Wieliczka in Poland. It looks like it is similar to this wonderful place in Pakistan: you ride on little trains inside and there are sculptures with different colors of salt. Here is the one in Poland (I went there way back in the 1980s when I did study-abroad in Poland one summer): Wieliczka Salt Mine. It was so eerie and beautiful, and it looks like Khewra is very eerie and beautiful also.

    Hi Zille! I have never heard of Khewra before, but I agree that it would be such a cool place to visit. I really like colorful rocks (like geodes, amethyst, etc), so I think this would be something I enjoyed a lot! It seems like an even better version of a cave - I visited a big cave system as a kid with my family in Texas, and it was cool, but it was all brown in color.

Introduction To Me

Hello everyone! My name is Zille Huma and I am a psychology major on premed track. The coolest thing about my major is how much you come to understand people through psychology. Oklahoma actually has a shortage of psychologists and mental health is a real issue in the United States. I feel privileged to have been taught on this subject. This actually relates to one of the coolest classes I took last semester called Abnormal Psychology. I really recommend it! We went over casebooks of real medical diagnosis and mental health diseases. It was truly a fascinating class because we got to see how psychology is applied to the real world. One of my biggest accomplishments last semester was surviving. Studying at home was twice as hard but in the end it was worth it. This year will be my last at OU. My career goals include medicine and innovation. I want to cure people but also innovate new medicine, and newer techniques!  My hobbies include doing henna/mehendi designs on hands and arms. I...
