Today I received my papers allowing me to stay in Germany. I am so happy that I can finally take my mother to a safe place. She sent me to Europe after my brother was killed in Damascus last year. He was shot by soldiers. We were all living in a Palestinian refugee camp in the south of Damascus. We were given 24 hours to leave. I left with my parents but my brother stayed behind. All the 100 or so people that were still in the camp were gunned down. In September 2014 I left for Turkey. I stayed there less than a month and tried to arrange my journey to Italy. We were travelling in the sea for four days already when our boat started sinking. It was during the night and we couldnt see anything. The waves were really strong, throwing the boat from side to side. The engine had died and there was nothing I could hold myself to. I thought I would die. At that moment a big Greek ship came and rescued us all. Im 17 years old so they put me in a childrens home with other refugee kids. I want to finish the last year of high school and then go to university. I want to study computer engineering.
