INTERVIEW:

I would like to finish college and have a secure future for myself and my family. I also like to travel a lot and see many places, meet new people and learn new cultures. I would like most of all to be an influential person at least in one stage of my life.

Describe your childhood when you were growing up from 8 to 13 years old.

I grew up in Sarajevo with my parents and my older brother in a small house very close to the center of the city. I started going to primary school at the age of 7. I had a happy childhood because my parents are very cheerful and intelligent people. They raised me very well. When I was 10 years old, my parents decided to move to the USA and that was a big change in my life because I was very young and I had to leave all of my friends. Luckily I learned English very quickly and life in the States became easier for me.

What lessons did you learn from your childhood/growing years?

Living in the United States, I traveled a lot and I learned English and about their history. I also learned a lot about discrimination. There are still parts of the U.S that have racism problems where some white Americans don't approve of African-Americans and they treat them like they are worth less. I learned to treat everyone in the same respectful manner, not matter what color their skin is or what religion they choose to believe in. That is the lesson I value the most. I also traveled a lot as a child and I love seeing new places and meeting new people. Seeing how we are all different in our tradition and ways, it all comes from the heart.

What is your environmental advocacy?

I am against pollution of the water. Water is, and always will be, the source of life! Only 0.3% of water on earth is drinkable and even today, more than a million people don't have access to clean drinking water. Daily, 22,000 people die because of that. I often hear people say after the war for oil follows the war for water.
