got a lot act a lot we attacked like twice from Isis you need to get used to sleep with the sound of the weapons with the bombs outside and it was crazy seeing all the things that I've seen and I at my age maybe I got used to it we had to find a way to get out like what changed about you realizing that you actually will have a life outside of Syria you didn't speak German no I didn't know anybody
