Meryam's personal story

Hello, my name is Meryam. I am 13 years old. I am interested in swimming and drawing.

My name means the mountains, the heights and the beauty. My favorite colou is red and my favorite animal is dogs.

We came to Sweden from Lebanon but are from Syria. We went to Lebanon due to the war. I was six years old when we moved to Lebanon, which is why I have lived for a longer time in Lebanon than in Syria. I studied in Lebanon for eight years. When we left for Sweden I was very sad because I will leave my family and my friends. I received many letters and souvenirs from my friends who always remind me of the fine moments we had together.

When I grow up I would like to be a designer because I like clothes and fashion.
