Abu Dhabi—In 33 years a country has been built from a desert to civilized

cities. A moment of panic happened when the British Colony went home and there he

comes HHS Zayed bin Zayed to calm the people and unite the trips into one country.

The United Arab Emirates were in bad shape and in a hard life conditions.

“He came out when we needed a leader, he brought us all together,” Ms. Asia

Al Hammadi said.

In those productive years people have been literate under his ruling to the

citizen of the UAE, The country have changed from a no life country to a well known

peaceful country. After those years, HHS Zayed bin Sultan has passed away on the

2nd of November 2014.

“It was one of the worst days I’ve lived, we didn’t know what to do,” she said.

The country has been in a shock for a while, because he wasn’t just a normal

guy, he was more like a father to his sons. The reaction of anything he does is

powerful as the family relationship. He was concerned more about the human being

more than the materiels.

Mr. Lance Khan an Advisor in Zayed University said “He was a visionary,”

The vision he had was remarkable comparing with the situation he was in. He

didn’t start random, he cared about the citizen offered everything just to stand them

up and literate them. The mission was built right.

“He gave us everything after, shelter, electricity, education and safety all that

for free,” Ms. Al Hammadi said.

His legacy will always stay as we can see nowadays buildings are named after

him such as Zayed University, Zayed Hospital, Zayed museum, Masjid Zayed and

Zayed bridge this shows how important he was as a leader and a father.

M. Trace an Instructor in Zayed University said “His legacy will stay and be

taught over generations,”

As a citizen of this country we can never forget what our leader and father did

to us, his actions led us to what we are right now. Our duty is to keep this country

going forward just as he left it for us.

“No man can replace him, we all have to pray for him and thank him for what

we have from his actions,” Ms. Al Hammadi said.
