I’m originally from Iraq. I was actually born
and raised there. After the Gulf War life wasn’t easy anymore and my family decided
that it was time to move. We first went to Jordan and stayed there for about
a year and a half and then we made the big trip to the US. Currently I am living in Salt Lake City, Utah. Why did I go there? Well my grandma is actually from Salt Lake and we had some relatives living there. |
Here are a few pictures of my country
I’m
a student at the University of Utah and I’ll be starting my junior year in the
Fall 2002.
I’m majoring in computer science but I’d like
to focus on graphics and animation.
My biggest interest would probably be art, art
in all its forms. I enjoy going to the theatre and visiting art galleries and
art shows. I’m not a big fan of modern art, I can’t seem to comprehend it and
it doesn’t spark any interest within me.
Also, I love horses! I'm not sure what it is but
since I was little I had always wanted a horse and I would try to convince my
parents to buy me one but alas my efforts were wasted. However a few months ago
I discovered that one of the houses in the neighborhood a few streets down had
a horse in the backyard. I couldn’t understand why anyone would own a horse in
the city but these people do and I’m not complaining.
Sports…hmm well they never were really big with
me, let’s just say that I enjoy watching sports rather then doing them. Exceptions
would be swimming, ice-skating and badminton. Many people though don’t consider
badminton and ice-skating a sport and I have to agree to some degree, to me
they’re more of a hobby and an activity.
