My name is Zahra Rifaat and I am 12 years old girl. I am in 6th grade. After I and my family were forced to leave my beloved country, we came to live in Syria now. We left because of the worsened security situation in Iraq.
Every time I remembered that group of armed men who came into my school with big frightening guns, I get scared. When one day an explosion happened very close to our house in south of Baghdad took place, we decided it wasn't worth it to stay, and that we should leave. It was 8 months ago. I remember that day very well. I was crying and feeling very sad.
Right now, I am going to school here. And I have new friends but I still can't wait to go back to my home country, to my friends.
What I like? I like making new friends; I love reading and playing soccer. I wish one day I learn how to use a computer and speak English.

Dearest Zahra, I am writing to you because you are the youngest in this group, and you are also very cute!
I am a teacher and teach children of your age, and if there is some way I can help you with your English, I would happily do so. I wish you the best of luck in all that you try to do, especially at school. I know the system is different in Syria as compared to Iraq, but I also know that all Iraqi children are brilliant! I love all Iraqi children very much and I am very sorry about what all of you have had to go through.
I don't know how I can talk to you, but you could reply on this site and let me know. I would like that very much.
Take care and lots of love.
Fi'mallah...
i feel very bad for you and i hope will fufill your wishes

Hi Zahra,
I don't think the war is fair, or right, and that is totally uncalled for. I feel bad for you, and that I would take the American troops out of your home country.
I'm happy that you are now in a safe place, and that you are no longer in danger. I hope that you will soon be able to go back to your home, and see your friends and family again. I wish the best of everything for you.
P.S Do you like soccer. I do.
Love,
Harrison Rowen
