Thank God I found my first job after 4 months.
Solar panel installation.
Then after I finished my construction contract
I would help my manager with
painting, drywall, roofing sometimes.
Hi my friend, how are you?
Good, and you?
Everything is ok?
No. You need to fix my light, there.
Oh, light?
Yes.
Ok, let me check.
Can you do it?
Yeah yeah, sure.
Now I work at a bakery.
In the first few months I worked cleaning the machinery.
After that, the manager offered me:
"Since you show interest in this, we're going to train you here,"
"How to do maintenance, how to apply the lubricant."
So every day I arrive, for example, I have on my schedule, which machine today.
I check if any parts are bad or if there's a problem.
When you come to America, you don't know what the system is like.
It's not like a lot of people think;
You don't walk down the street and find money.
Work here is serious.
You do the work, they appreciate it.
You don't do the work, they don't help you.
They help you once or twice, but after that they say, "That's it."
I like this system because you know who works and who doesn't.
Who's fast and who's slow.
Who is self-motivated, I mean...
In Iraq it's not like that.
I'm replacing the car's spark plugs.
I have time, so I'm going to change
The plug.
The problem is not with the plugs.
I was up early this morning because
today Linda had
an exam.
So hopefully she'll take it
and get the score she wants.
Hello!
Hi Linda. How did you do?
Good.
Good.
Are you sure?
We didn't finish school
So we're hoping that something we couldn't do,
Our children can do.
When you have a degree, there are bigger and better opportunities.
Here, there are many specializations in school. Not like in Iraq.
The car is still bad.
Poor thing. She wants some antibiotics.
The lady said to meet her in the lobby.
Where's the lobby?
I don't know.
I want a house because the girls are big.
And in their teen years they need privacy.
When I see Linda sit down to draw or read
She can't relax.
Sometimes I also feel bad for Lubna
Because she always wants her friends to come over and play.
We don't have a place where she can play with her friends.
(Lubna singing)
And, I mean...
This apartment has exhausted me. It's old and things are always breaking.
Didn't I tell Laith the other day that we have bed bugs?
He told me, "No we don't."
Yesterday we threw out the bed because we found bed bugs in it.
We have to throw all this away.
We have to start from zero.
Wait. Everything?
Be careful. This may have bed bugs.
We have to wash it.
One day it's cockroaches. One day it's bed bugs. One day the ceiling falls on our heads.
We just want to move somewhere else. Not this building!
Definitely a bigger space than our apartment.
You know, a lot of stuff in Silver Spring, it's like $2,000 and more.
That't the thing. It's a decent price.
And it's by the park. You know the neighborhood already.
We can't buy a house because we need a down payment and we don't have one.
This is the problem Laith and I always fight about.
I have a house over there.
About a year ago
I could have sold the house but, hmm, I mean...
From the beginning I told him we should sell the house. The price was good.
He told me no. So later, when we decided to sell
The situation in Iraq had gotten extremely bad.
So tonight, with a new Iraqi government in place,
And following consultations with allies abroad, and Congress at home,
I can announce that America will lead a broad coalition to roll back this terrorist threat.
Our objective is clear.
We will degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL.
Home values dropped almost to nothing.
And we can't sell the house.
This is the thing that caused a huge problem between Laith and me.
It will take time to eradicate a cancer like ISIL.
And any time we take military action, there are risks involved.
Especially to the servicemen and servicewomen who carry out these missions.
He's always afraid of trying something new and failing.
My fight with him is always that, for example, a good opportunity comes,
I tell him, "Laith, this is a good opportunity."
(phone rings)
And he doesn't listen to me. Yes, Linda?
Yes, put it in.
Put everything in together.
Onions, tomatoes, squash, eggplant and peppers...
Put them all in together.
I can't by right now.
The school year isn't over yet. How will we transport the girls?
She doesn't think about those things. She wants...
When she says something, we have to want it right now.
She doesn't have patience.
I feel for her, but
the solution she wants, of doing something fast,
She can't do things that way.
We're so exhausted. We can't buy or even rent a house because
There isn't enough money.
The situation is really bad between Laith and me.
Hello!
Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I was just biking and
No, it's alright.
It was my fault because
What did you get?! What did you get?!
I hate olives.
The Spanish guy...he was talking in Spanish to me and I was like, "What?"
He was like "blah-blah-blah-blah," And I was like, "What?"
And he was like, "Oh, I thought you were Dominican."
It's funny. When you're brown people think you're a lot of things.
Ok. So before I read this...because I haven't even read it,
what is your main point?
Don't look.
Just tell me how you're going to make history.
Um...
Alright. You have four different ideas. You have...
"What is history?" What does this say about you?
What I'm not getting is like one story that I can leave with and say
Linda, this girl, she is gonna do "this."
My passion is moving towards nursing, and
I feel like I can use that to help people, even like
I feel like I couldn't do anything in my country. I couldn't do anything in Iraq.
And I felt really helpless.
I feel like here I can
Finally express my feeling.
I can finally like, fight for people's right.
(Door opening)
Hey I haven't seen you in a while. You doing alright?
Hey Ben.
Sup girl?
I brought...
Nothing. Not even the sauce or the jalapeno.
White people's houses are so cold.
White people's houses?
That's so racist. You are so racist Linda!
It's not racist. It's stereotyping.
You know what she told me? We were trying to choose a GW essay, ok?
There were three essays. One of them was like, what was it?
I don't remember what it said. I'm going to look it up.
She goes: "That's a white girl essay!"
I'm not trying to be racist. It's like...
That's the sentence of a racist.
(Laughter)
"Hey, I'm not trying to be a racist, but..."
I just share my thoughts. I'm not trying to be a racist. (Laughs)
I want you to read it to us.
Oh, ok.
Rushing into the surgery room to help a shotted soldier coming from the battle.
This is what I imagine myself doing ten years from now.
Finishing my path in the Army medical field, by graduating after finishing my medical studies.
Coming from an Iraqi background inspires me to take
any chance to stop the violent and make changes in people's lives.
I was too young at the time of the war to make any difference in the past.
But as I grew up, I grew a feeling of changing history and making a new one.
This is who I am. This is who I will be. This is my future and my history.
Woo-hoo!
It kinda rhymes: "This is who I am, this is who I will be..."
"This is my future and history. Uh..uh..uh..."
You're like a rapper.
Boom.
Yeah girl, I see you coming from the sun...
I said, "Wassup? Holla at me, gun."
(Laughs)
I wish your college applications could see you.
You are a rockstar.
We'll see you on Monday.
I love you.
I love you more.
Hi sweetie, how are you? How did it go?
Good.
I'm helping Linda because
She was my mom thirty years ago.
She's so smart.
I don't want her to regret not doing things just because she didn't know how.
And I feel like she has a lot to offer the world.
