Istanbul, Turkey (originally Afghanistan)

My father was one of the opposition commanders who had very good relations with our friends from America.

My father always said to me that if our American friends were not in Afghanistan, the terrorist Taliban would take control of our country, so my father always went to some of our friend's military bases to help.

He always gave people the impression that the United States was not our enemy, but only a friend to protect us from the terrorists. Once the Taliban intelligence was informed, they killed my father and many of his friends, and we had to flee to Kabul.

Later, the Taliban set fire to the house we had in the province and told the people that anyone who befriends the Americans is punished for their actions.

And I learned to help people because my thoughts became one with my father. In some places I talked about friendship with the Americans. Once I was attacked. When I survived, I had to leave the country for Turkey. Through Pakistan wants to be friends with the Taliban want refugees Send me back to Afghanistan. If I go to Afghanistan, I will face the fate of my father. I want to be a doctor and serve the people of the world like American friends.

The Americans have served my country for twenty years. I am ready to serve the honorable people of America for next thirty years of my life.
