The nightmares of war

“ We have to go pack your stuff now”
“But where are we going?”
“Anywhere but here!!”
Then we heard the sound of bombs so high we knew they weren’t faraway”
Those were the last words I remember to ever have said in my own home in my own country ten years ago.
I have been taunted with this memory ever since, seeing it in my nightmares, I dream about it once every week, and sometimes more.
I have studied and worked hard ever since my childhood, and now I am a doctor, and my wish is to work with the “Doctors without borders “ organization so that children won’t suffer the same labyrinth I suffered 10 years ago.
The registration involved filling an online form, and sending it to the organization. All the questions in the form were scientific facts, all but the last question, the last question said: “Q 50 : Explain what the word “Migrate” means to you.”
I thought about this question for days, and then on the final day of the submission came and I answered the question i8n the best possible way I could think of.
“Migrate is a word that means love, sacrifice, and heart breaks. It also means fear, injuries, and blood,.
Whenever I think of the word migrate I see it resembling love, because it reminds of the time when my dad, ten years ago, yelled at us “We need to leave pack your stuff now”.
I guess I was young at that time to understand it, but now I do he told us to go , he wanted us to migrate, for our safety because he really loved us, but he also sacrificed not something, that can be touched but he sacrificed his country to the hands of the intruders causing both his and his country’s heart break.
It causes fear to all those young children getting attacked by bombs for doing nothing, or simply for just being peaceful, they get injured both emotionally and physically, especially if they see their parents or a part of their family killed.
It is an unfair word that takes the rights of an innocent citizen to stay in his own country, and to live peacefully on its grounds.
Its causes terror for children letting them have nightmares about it fopr years.
I suffered from the crisis of migration when I was young, due to war, and I am still suffering.
This word “ Migrate” is what motivates me to work harder, and apply for your organization, because I believe that all the children, and adults have the right to luive safely without facing all the injustice in this world full of danger and evil motives

This is wonderful, but can be improved. I think using more imagery instead of stating "I did.." "I am..." "I was..." and other similar beginning of sentences. Like when speaking about the bombs exploding something to the effect of, "The way the explosion shook me told me I was not far from it." Instead of, "we heard...we knew.." I really hope this was helpful, and easy to understand. It was difficult for me to explain.

I want people to read my stories, it'd be rude not to reado others'. Also I enjoy reading others work just to see different styles of writing.

i read some of your stories and they are really nice . short but meaningful and are exactly perfect for a person who doesnt exactlyhave enough time for leisure reading. but the only disturbing fact is that most of them talk about death or abuse but they are still nice though i would really want to a read a famtasy story of yours hopefully your gonna write one soon but im surely gonna keep reading your stories because they are really nice and creative they get you addicted 😊

This has a lot of potential, but will be much better after serious revisions, particularly in the grammar department. Thank you for sharing :)

Thx a lot for taking time to read my story:) I really appreciate it.
I am a 9th grader and English is my second language so I would really value any help you can offer me to make my work better:)
Thx again for reading

[streetrose]

My best advice to you would be to be confident in your use of the English language. Contrary to what many Americans would tell you, there are thousands of dialects of English, each with its own hierarchy within.

[streetrose]

Find a dialect that you enjoy and just roll with it :)

Sorry about the other review by the way, my computer kept glitching (I deleted now).

Anyways, I really enjoyed this so far. You did a good job at getting me interested.

I have a question although it doesn't really have to do with your quality of writing. I was wondering how much you actually know about "Doctors Without Borders" and other such things. Not that you had incorrect facts or not enough information. I'm just wondering because if you don't have very much information on this, continuing this book will definitely get a lot harder.

Thx for reading my story :)
Well I actually don't know much about "doctors without borders"
But in the vision of the story stored in my mind I don't think that I would need it for the future ;) but If I do I will read more about it :)
Thx again for reading and taking time to review :*
