“The fact that I haven’t been able to fulfill my aspirations yet hasn’t dampened my passion; rather, it has strengthened my will to express myself,” she says. “In addition to being the voice of thousands of besieged Palestinian youngsters, I write to share my aspirations, goals, and wishes. I hope to write stories that inspire people all around the world.”
