As a refugee from Bosnia and Hercegovina, I had difficulty starting over.

There are a lot of emotions involved in leaving one's country. With the help of members of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, I learned how to love this country and have accepted it as my home.

I used to feel like a refugee in my own country because my hometown was invaded by other people.

In my new country, many windows of opportunity have opened, and I have begun to love it here--so much so that wherever I go, America is my home. So at the end of the day, love is the answer.
