-Thank you so much. -Oh, yeah. We are--
About three weeks that we are here.
When we first arrived in Arkansas,
there were pumpkins at every door.
My mother kept asking,
"Why would they keep the pumpkins there, Basira?"
On one of those days,
there were kids wearing different costumes.
That's when we realized it's part of the culture and tradition.
So maybe next year.
Conditions in Afghanistan
during this 20 years was not perfect,
but people were happy because
people had their basic rights,
like women going to a school, going to university,
be an active part of the society.
I finished in Kabul University
in law.
Law and political science.
I was in university.
Well when I was studying in Kabul,
I always said that I wanted to be a doctor.
That time the regime changed and the Taliban came,
I can say such disaster
happened for Afghanistan.
Thousands of people rushed to the gates of airport,
and some people died because it was crowded.
Some of our family members didn't want to go to the airport.
But at 2:00 a.m.
we left our home.
The only thing that we could bring was a backpack.
Afghanistan's airport has many gates.
We got to Abbey Gate.
Two days after us,
a suicide bomb attack happened on that gate.
It was dangerous and risky,
but we got through that gate.
We really didn't want to come as a refugee,
but we had to make that decision.
The first days, it was difficult,
because a feeling of being homeless
is difficult even for a baby.
So when he understood that he had-- he has a house.
So, he became so happy.
He knows that we have a home,
a calm city, and I can play safely.
And now he's making new friends.
Yes, he's making new friends
with some of my neighbors and co-sponsor families.
And now he's okay with Arkansas.
Yeah, thank you.
I can have it.
