On the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the presidency of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Emirati youth say his leadership style has changed their perspective on ambition, perseverance, and service to the homeland.

This statement came after the UAE President's meeting with "Mohammed Khamis bin Rweis Al Heili" at his home in Al Ain on May 2; a meeting that once again demonstrated His Highness Sheikh Mohammed's close connection with the people.

"Saghira Al Heili" said:

"He makes you feel like you are talking to a father, not just the head of a country."

She emphasized that the most important characteristic of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed is his humility, attentive listening to the people, and his kind demeanor. According to Saghira, the fatherly phrase from the UAE President asking, "How are you, my daughters?" has been unforgettable for her.

"Meera Al Heili" also described her first meeting with His Highness Sheikh Mohammed as an "unreal moment" and said his presence was very warm and friendly.

She added:

"I realized that a true leader is not just someone who has power, but someone who stands with the people and gives them a sense of security and worth."

Meera also stated that the humility and natural behavior of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed are the reasons for his popularity among the youth, as he always encourages them towards success, love for the homeland, and participation in building the future of the UAE.

She concluded by describing this meeting:

"It felt like security itself was standing in front of me; it felt like I was seeing the homeland itself."
