Summary

The topic of my story will be my summer trip to Kurdistan in 2022. I come from an immigrant family and when I went back home I saw many people that were struggling there to survive through the basic needs in life. It taught me to be grateful for the situation I am in since my parents were lucky enough to immigrate to a country like Canada and provide me a better life compared to others that don't have money and is challenging for them to provide for their own families since they don't have money and can't immigrate.
