I was born in Lebanon in 1982, during the height of the Lebanese Civil War. My childhood was marked by violence and uncertainty. I remember the sound of bombs exploding and the sight of buildings being destroyed. I remember being afraid to go outside and play with my friends. I remember the constant worry that my family and I would be killed.

In 1990, my family decided to flee Lebanon. We left everything behind and moved to the United States. We arrived in America with nothing but the clothes on our backs. We didn't speak English and we didn't know anyone. We were scared and alone.

But we were also determined to succeed. We worked hard to learn English and to find jobs. We struggled, but we never gave up. We eventually found our place in America and we are now living the American dream.

My journey from Lebanon to America was a long and arduous one, but it was also a journey filled with hope, resilience, and perseverance. I am grateful for the opportunity to share my story with you. I hope that it will inspire you to never give up on your dreams.
