Iran was my entrance to the world, Germany showed me how to live. While growing up parallel in two cultures, I learned a lot and became multicultural. But the price for that was an unstability of my knowledge about myself and being lost. In my last teenage year, I studied more conscious my family and my definition of womanhood, to find out my own values and understand more what I agree or disagree with in the cultures that I got known to. I had to find a frame from which I could break out afterwards. This frame is my root, which is neccessary for my growth.
