I was born in Bangladesh to my mother and father, Saraph and Josai Ahmed.
-
-
Yes, I was a late bloomer, but from that moment on, exploring foreign places on my own seemed wonderful
-
Yes, because of that I have a permanent twitch in my left eye. I don't really know how it happened, probably a nerve effected by the virus, but I guess it is what it is.
-
As a little girl, I always watched my grandmother paint, but finally I got to paint myself. I now keep this safe in my sketchbook where no one can find it.
-
Kwan, my first brother was a miracle. I was overjoyed when he made it, considering he was a premature baby that weighed only a few pounds.
-
Sabir Ahmed was born, and it was an amazing point in my life. I loved children and now I was old enough to understand the miracle of life.
-
This was such an exciting day. My mom never approved of art, but my dad was all for it. My mom used to. That's actually how they met, at an art gallery. I still have this kit he snuck me hidden in my small bag I took to America.
-
My uncle was very drunk and we were at a family get together. I don't want to say any more, considering it is a delicate subject. My innocence was taken from me, and no matter how much I try to ignore the memory, it pops up. My mother slapped me for saying such a thing and lying to her face about her own brother. Little did she know I wasn't lying.
-
It was rough. We went from a huge house, to a small one and it was hard to adjust, but we got through it because we had each other.
-
Yes, kids at my school bullied me. Someone at my school got mad at me for "budging", when in reality I had been there the whole time. My mom didn't belive me.
-
I was so happy to have a sister! After getting all rough with the boys, it was fun but I wanted a girl so I could tell her all the tips and tricks of being a girl.
-
In the middle of the night,I guess my father decides he doesn't want the burden of children anymore, leaving me and my mom with two kids and an infant to care for. I don't really know why he left, but I miss him. A lot.
-
She was so young. I will always remember her. I don't like to talk about her, but I wear her bracelet with me.
-
This was the artistic grandmother that tought me everything I know. She died peacefully in her sleep, but I'm heartbroken. She was the mom I longed to have.
-
AvPD is a disorder that makes it seems as if you are disliked by everyone and fear rejection. That's what i was diagnosed with along with anxiety, and my mom still thinks I'm faking it and refuses to take meds.
-
A flood sweeps our house and we lose everything. I think that was the tipping point where my mom was sick of us living like this, so we moved.
-
I don't really know what happened. I just knew I wasn't in control of my body anymore, and I just kind of blacked out. Of course, mom didn't belive that one either.
-
Seeking better jobs and living conditions, my family moves from Bangladesh to the U.S, landing in Detroit, Michigan. It was probably the best day of my life. I have dreamed of travelling for so long, and America no less!
-
Not even halfway through the first day I was bullied, and it just continues to cycle over and over.
-
The biggest bully of our new school. He doesn't seem all that bad actually. I feel like he is just faking his cruelty for popularity and status. I don't know who he is, but part of me wants to find out.
-
My lifesaver. Carlie is my best friend, and is always at my side. She's amazing.
