They are the people that I grew up with and I spend all my life with them. We had very important and interesting moments together, and they were always with me, in my happiness and sadness, and that helped me too much. My relative from my mom’s side they were like a family for me. Whenever I used to be sad or something happened, the first person I was going to was my mother's brother. My mother’s brother was like a father for me, he was solving all my problems. For example, once the school asked me to call my parent’s to school because I fought, so I went to my uncle and he came instead of my parents. My relatives from my mother's side were more careful people, they cared about me and they taught me too many things. However my father's side was not bad, but they were not that interesting for me. My friends were everything for me, I was with my friends a lot more than I was home or with my family. Being with friends was very helpful for me because I learned some of the bad things that I wasn’t supposed to do. In addition, all my families and friends are stuck in Erbil because of the misunderstanding that is going on in Erbil.

Erbil is very popular with the food”Dolma.” People in Erbil they love dolma, which it's made of grape leaves stuffed with rice and meet. We eat Dolma at least once
