On the 31 of March 2005 my life changed up side down .I was so lucky person that I got a scholarship to study in America which I called it now my home town .it gave me every thing I want better education , Safe place to live , but I paid in the other hand my family . so worry about them can’t sleep in the night just thinking I know there are not safe over there I wish IRAQ Disappear I want it to disappear I born in 1988 all what I saw wars. .I graduated on May 21 2006 .I was so happy .I want to study photography. I love to take pictures when I hold my camera I feel that I want to take pictures of everybody and every thing .I wanted to go to college like my friends who graduated with me, But instead I watched my dreams flying a ways far from me.

Thanks to all who answered me .... but still i feel i'm lost don't know what to do

Answer 1

You must stay in America and study and be all the things your family would want for you. They are undoubtedly really grateful that you won that scholarship and that you have graduated and are safe. Just think how devastated they would be if you gave it all up to go home to see them. I really do understand that you feel you must, but al their hopes are invested in you. You are their future. Take lots of photos so that when all is well and you can be together again you can show them all that you have seen. But please, do not give up. Make their dreams yours. I wish you lots of courage and hope.

Answer 2

It sounds like YOU are safe but unhappy that your family is not. Let me ask YOU a question-how will you help them by going back? You may be the only light they have right now, knowing you are safe. Sometimes it's more difficult to be the survivor (not that I wish your family harm).

Ask yourself honestly-how can you best serve the world and your family? By going disappearing into a war zone or by telling their story so that other's can hear. Photography is a wonderful way to share stories-obviously you can't go back to take pictures, but could they send you pictures that you could work on in Photoshop and share??

You sound like you have a good heart, but sometimes the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one. Ok, I know that came from a Star Trek movie, but it doesn't make it any less true.

good luck.

I want I might come to be an anesthesiologist and make a entire mess of cash with out getting sued. I want the men and women I hated had been despatched to Uranus. I want my household wasn't suffering from the recession and had extra money to pay of debt.
