My Life in Syria and Canada

I lived in Syria. Dad was there too but he worked a lot. He was strong and protected us. He was not strict at all. Dad was loving. We had just two rooms; the guys shared a room and the girls shared a room. Our grandparents lived with us too. Our home was not always safe. There was so much bombing. My mom got a call from the airport. They aksed if she wanted to take a plane to Canada. We went to Lebanon and then we went to Jordan. After that, we came to Fredericton and we've been here fore seven years. Here, my favourite room is like a sotrage room in our house. It's always warm and cozy like if you were near a chimney. I can think very well in this room. It's where I study. My favourite thing about this house is my family. They will always be in my heart.
