Alma
"When war started...yeah...of course, my life was totally upside down. We had to leave our town. We had to escape. That was 1992. From that year, I didn’t go to my hometown. I couldn’t. That’s why we came here; we couldn’t go back to our town. Actually, we don’t have anything over there. Our house is burned… " We lived for two years in that refugee camp in Zenica [Bosnia]… I was 16. At that time, I felt I could go to war. I could go to the front. Yeah, fight... That was the worst time of my life." "Nobody likes refugees." |
Alma was born in Bosnia in the late 1970s. She received her BA in Science from the University in Sarejevo. She left Bosnia as a refugee with her family in 2001 and came directly to Pennsylvania. She has been continuing her education and hopes to work in a pharmaceutical research lab.
