What does family mean to you?

Family means to me people that are there for you The good days and bad. appreciate you for who you are

What’s a memory that you have with your family that you cherish?

One memory I had with my family was this morning, it was a Muslim holiday called Eid. We were all praying the Eid prayers and my father made a joke which made us all laugh and it just took me back to when I was young.

What does home mean to you?

Home is where love starts and goals never end where are you feel comfortable coming home to every day home is a place where you make memories and live them.

Goals and hobbies?

I want to become a psychologist/real estate how far college I’m going to study business so one day I can open my own store with my family and sell houses on the side. I love drawing and I just came back to it I love spending time with myself spoiling myself.
