When I was a little girl, my most prized possession was a pair of Lizzie McGuire sandals. I wore them everywhere – even throughout a whole camping trip, where they became extremely muddy but I loved those shoes all the same.

    My parents, facing many difficulties, had to make a choice: stay in Iran and attempt to survive the war, or immigrate to the United States to create a better quality of life for themselves and their future children.
