My father decided to send me to the preschool when I was six years old. That was not normal for Iranian society that a family sent their kids to a preschool especially during the revolution in Iran in 1979. I remembered the first day at the preschool, and he was there for very short time then he left. I did not know that I have to cry or I have to play with other kids. I remembered that he always gave me confidence in this sentence that “ You are a man, and a man never cries “. That sentence made me strong and secure, and I believed that I do not need my parents because I am a man and a man never cries. My father always told my mother about me when I was a kid that I like to take Mohammad out with me, because he never asked my to buy something

I told myself that I wasn’t going to allow the absence of my father prevent me from getting father in life. Many always thought that I was just this angry little girl, but they never sat down and asked me why I felt so angry inside.

I’ve came to reality that his actions did not have to direct

Back in the grains of Afghanistan When my father returned from war, I had assumed that we would all fall back into our routines. I had assumed that father, and I would bike down to the beach every Sunday and swim until it was dark.

When father came back from war, his face was of no recognition.
When I was a boy, growing up in a small city called Midenah I, it was one of the best memory I have ever had, Midenah is located in the west of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I was a reckless kid, I used to climb the tree when I was at 7 and then I couldn’t come down I was fearless my mom sometime won’t let go out to play with the kids because I wasn’t listening to a word she said.

While preparing to interview a girl I practically knew nothing about, besides the fact that she was Palestinian, I expected a concealed woman in a full hijab. However, I was greeted with a bright, smiling girl wearing clothes I would expect my sister to wear. My own cultural expectations threw me off immediately, and it seemed as if my grasp on the middle east had been tenuous for the first time in my life. She told me her name was Deema, a 20 year old University of Oregon student from Palestine. We chatted about her childhood, her family, and many other things.
I was teaching a lesson when an obnoxious ringing noise came from the back row. I approached the source of ringing, and wound up at the desk of a pale skinned, long haired boy. There was something odd about this boy, he was definitely socially awkward and there was something that made him different from the rest of the crowd, but I just couldn’t tell what that quality was. Anyways, I extend my hand and signal for the device making the noise. The pale faced student gives me nervous look.

Walking into the Westfield Topanga Mall, I was already on high alert and prepared for the amount of marketing I was about to be subjected to. Only three steps in and my eyes were immediately confronted with sales signs and beautifully enticing store entrances, all of which were overwhelming to me considering I had walked in with a purpose to only buy one specific product at Target. On the way to my destination, I was halted by a young and hip designer eyewear salesman with an eyewear stand who had managed to pull me aside and begin his sales pitch. During our encounter, Shahin, the salesman, had used multiple “weapons of influence” when trying to sell his eyewear to me. Some of these weapons included conformity and comparison, compliance, persuasion,
