00:00.009 --> 00:02.176
I was born and raised in Afghanistan .

00:02.176 --> 00:04.769
I moved to the US , to Kansas when I

00:04.780 --> 00:07.690
was 13 , my mom used to work at US NBC

00:07.699 --> 00:11.300
and some other US camps and whenever

00:11.310 --> 00:14.090
they would be under attack , like they

00:14.100 --> 00:16.322
would protect their people , they would

00:16.322 --> 00:18.378
send them in the basements and would

00:18.378 --> 00:20.433
wait it out until everything is good

00:20.433 --> 00:22.711
outside . Whenever there was a bombing ,

00:22.711 --> 00:22.530
usually the phone signals doesn't work

00:22.540 --> 00:24.651
at all . Just have to wait it out . I

00:24.651 --> 00:26.707
love my childhood . It was fun . All

00:26.707 --> 00:28.889
these American people and the soldiers

00:28.899 --> 00:30.955
and everybody and they would give me

00:30.955 --> 00:32.955
candy . There was commercials about

00:32.955 --> 00:35.121
joining the army for your next mission

00:35.121 --> 00:37.010
in life . Stay strong in the army

00:37.010 --> 00:39.232
reserves . If my family is really proud

00:39.232 --> 00:41.232
of me , they are still a little bit

00:41.232 --> 00:43.455
worried about me . But that's how every

00:43.455 --> 00:45.455
family is . They always worry about

00:45.455 --> 00:47.566
their Children . That's why I want to

00:47.566 --> 00:47.380
join the army because I want to save

00:47.389 --> 00:48.700
the people that I love .
