What gives you direction in life?
I usually use Google maps to get around! In my adult life, I don’t need much direction anymore. But of course, growing up, my parents were my big directors. These days, I follow procedures and policies in my work.

Fav Holidays. Christmas now, Eid Al Adha back in the day
What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?
Eid Al Adha during my childhood in Iraq meant no school for FOUR days! The best part was that mom didn’t work either. Dad would wake us up too early to go visit his parents and his side of the family in a town nearby. We would eat, get new clothes, receive money and gifts from adults, and have a great time.
Christmas replaced that now that we live in America. I like to buy matching pjs for me, my sisters, nieces, and my son. Getting gifts might not be the favorite part. I just enjoy family time and days with no work or school.
Camping memory
Have you ever been camping?
On the beach in a tent too small for nine broke students. And again in Bonnaroo in hot rainy July days. Memories my old self left me with. Memories I’m glad I made.
Older, I’m now uninterested in the idea and prefer a controlled environment for sleep.
