I wanted to pursue my dreams in America. We packed, after that my father dropped me and my older sister at the train station and he took my youngest sister to withdraw all the papers from the refugee center. I was scared to go back to Ira, I knew I couldn't be something there, and to add to that It wasn't safe. We sat on a bench outside the train station waiting for my father to come back, I prayed that we wouldn't have to go back to Iraq. My father came from far away smiling, I was thinking he had good news and that my prayers were heard. He told me that a woman helped him get a monthly salary from the government ,it was 250$ which was enough to pay our rent every month and for food too. After 6 months our papers were finished and they called us and told us we were accepted to go to the United States. I was so excited ,so happy. I felt like I had a new opportunity in life, the past was a period of transition from the child's mind to an adult mind, three months after my 12th birthday we flew to America. I felt lucky that I had this opportunity to be whatever I want and I still do, and one day I want to become doctors Elaf. The first step starts
