My Small World<br />
Sahanaz Ahmed<br />
64 Adapting<br />
My name is Sahanaz Ahmed. I am from Bangladesh.<br />
My childhood was so joyful! My parents loved me very much—I was the first child. My<br />
grandmother loved me a lot. She always gave me anything I wanted. I have two sisters<br />
and five brothers, and I am so happy for that. I played with my cousins, I went to school<br />
and sometimes we had picnics. I loved holidays: so many gifts!<br />
I got married. I became a housewife and was bringing up four children. I was taking<br />
care <strong>of</strong> my husband and children, cooking for them, cleaning my house. I was so happy.<br />
My house was full <strong>of</strong> love and happiness. I was surrounded with a wonderful life. My<br />
every dream was becoming a reality. My family looked like a beautiful garden: it looked<br />
nice and beautiful everywhere.<br />
And then…I don’t know why that big storm came and destroyed everything: my<br />
family, my dreams, and my life. My husband met another woman and left my children<br />
and me. It was five years ago.<br />
Now, I am heartbroken. Wherever I look I see a black color–no light for me. I am asking<br />
God to help me and give me some light that can warm my heart.<br />
I believe in a miracle. God will give me happiness and I will be the same happy mother<br />
and wife; my previous life will come back to me. I want my old days back.<br />
Sahanaz Ahmed was born in Bangladesh. She moved to<br />
the United States three years ago. She studies at Brooklyn<br />
BEGIN, where her teacher is Alvard Berberyan.
