'I lost hope in school system,' boy who ran away in Irbid tells Roya

The boy, Ayham Al-Omari, who left his home with his friend Rashid and was found in Amman, said that they had lost hope in the school system.

Omari told Roya's Nabd Al Balad Saturday that he and his friend Rashid thought of working until the age of 18 and then leaving Jordan to work.

He pointed out that when he left the house with his friend Rashid, he aspired and hoped to return to his family's home with a success story and make them happy, stressing that he was thinking about the future.

Omari explained that he agreed to return home on conditions, namely, leaving school, not having relatives interfere with it, and supporting their project.

Earlier Friday, the two boys who had run away from home in Irbid were found in Amman, according to the Public Security Directorate (PSD).

The two runaways, around 15 years old, had left a note for their parents saying that they are leaving the country to find a job to make themselves rich instead of staying at school to finally work as employees.

The media spokesperson for the PSD said that an investigation team was able to locate and reach them in the Bayader area in the capital, Amman, and they are in good health.

He confirmed that their statements will be heard and then they will be handed over to their families.

Notably, the two boys had left their homes in the town of Habka in Irbid, with a note that spread like wildfire on social media.

Ayham Al-Omari and Rashid Al-Sobh, two close friends, wrote the reason behind their disappearance was a book titled “Rich Dad Poor Dad” written by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter.

Their letter indicated that they went to search for work after long deliberation so that they would collect capital to be able to start a business project, writing: "We went to search for work in which we can earn capital to start our own project and make money work for ourselves so that we do not work for money and have the mentality of an employee that is produced by the school system.”
