I'm really proud of the fact that I've managed to get the truth of the Syrian tragedy out to people everywhere. But I wasn't expecting everything that has happened since. I never expected to meet Angelina Jolie.
Up until the age of 8, I had a normal, happy childhood in Syria. It was a simple life with my family and Syria was beautiful. It had rich resources. Then, in 2011, the war began. Life became difficult; every day was a struggle. But as a child, what can you do? It was hard to deal with war, but we had to. We couldn't run away because we were living under siege in eastern Ghouta.
We spent around two years having classes in the shelter, but students didn't like it. There was no WiFi and it was hard for the children, so we moved back into the school above ground. Education is more valuable than anything. There was so much trauma from all the bombing, death, and destruction, but we didn't want to lose our education because of the war, so we continued to attend school.
In one of my early videos, I was out on the road in Ghouta talking about the Assad regime. Suddenly a bomb exploded behind me. I was scared and I wanted to stop the video and run away, but I continued. I shared that video on my social media and, because of the bomb exploding behind me, it got the attention of people around the world. When I started I just shared the suffering of children; people who are my friends. Now, I share the stories of many people in Syria.
When I moved here, I decided to put learning Turkish to one side so I could learn English. I felt it was the language I needed to be able to help people. Unfortunately, because of that I lost my education. I can't speak Turkish so I couldn't go to school here.
