The first time I opened my eyes in this world, I was in a place away from home. My family had gone to that place at the time in order to make a living, I was destined to be born in a prosperous world, yet a broken country.
A while after, we came back to our home country, Palestine, to a refugee camp. To the same place my parents were born and raised in. I grew up with no shortage of horrific war traumas. I used to wake up to the sound of bombardments and gunshots. I witnessed people die.
When I grew older I was trying to get used to becoming an adult, to try and find my place in life. I was living in a society that was scattered by war. I realized that unity is the key to survival, to support one another and to work on building a strong community so that we all can ultimately have a chance to build our own lives on a solid ground.
That being said, I do what I do now in life to try and achieve that state by contributing to the public and simultaneously working on building my own life and just looking positively into the future.
Now, as the world is going through challenging times, we all need to unite and stand together to face these challenges and focus on making this world a better place for us all and the future generations to live in.
