    Each person’s life is a journey on a contorted road dotted with bumps and craters. At certain points‚ the bumps could seem as high as mountains and the pits as deep as hell‚ making this journey called life appear quite despondent.

    True journey stories for me have always been The Wizard of Oz‚ Odysseus‚ Star Wars‚ and It’s a Wonderful Life. The hero in each of these stories is usually immersed in feelings of hopelessness that are always initiated by a crisis.

My crisis centered around the loss of my friends‚ family and home in Syria. Through past years‚ two of my best
