How I Became a Mother
Raziyeh Norouzbakhsh-hajikandi
My daughter’s birth had a very big impact on my life. When I was 28 years old, I was shocked when I learned that I was pregnant. I had lost my first and second baby because I had a problem with my heart and my body. But one day I went to the doctor and she told me I could continue trying. Wow!!! That was a really very important time for me and my husband and everyone in my family. At that time, I was going to a homeless child center and I helped them. I played with the children and talked with them. I enjoyed that time because I helped them to problem-solve. When my daughter was born healthy, we were very happy. Her birth changed my life because she gave me hope. She is my best friend now. Her good fortune is my goal in life. Also, I tried very hard in university and at my work. I want to be a good teacher and mother for her. The birth of my daughter was a very amazing day in my life.
