are older, I am going to buy you butt loads of makeup”. Me being a tomboy at the time, I thought it was disgusting to wear makeup and only ugly people wore it. Not knowing that in high school, makeup would be my statement piece and would give me multiple of opportunities to be myself. In middle school, I was always made fun of because I was “the ugly duckling”. I had short permed hair, dressed like a boy, and had no body figure.

Being born and raised in Canada is considered a privilege. However, being born with a Persian background can also have its faults. My brother and I were both born and raised in Calgary and we share the same parents. Unfortunately, we had different experiences growing up.

Nothing good ever came out of partying-I could already tell that I was going to regret my actions by tomorrow morning

I have had an experience with the Catholic Religion. I have a to give the Catholics a lot of praise for being such a tight knit group. My father family were devoted Catholics. When my father married my mother he broke away from the Catholic Church. Unfortunately, I also grew up in a predominantly Catholic community. I was born among the Catholic culture.
