    About this ebook

    I became aware at an early age about the war and what it is and
    what could happen to us if we stayed home when the South army
    came. Soon, we found ourselves running away from our house,
    with bullets fl ying above our heads, and ending up in a refugee
    camp. From then on, things got complicated and very hard to
    deal with. Because of Bill Clinton, who was the president of
    United States at that time, I ended up in America on March 30,
    1998, and started a new beginning and a new chapter of my life
    in a different way. He gave us a chance to live another life and
    gave us a chance to become something/someone in life, and I
    will always be thankful to him for bailing me out of that misery.
