First of all, Hayat is a mother of six children, half of them are adults; but, they are still children for me. I was born in Baghdad, Iraq. I am the second child for my parents. I have seven siblings: four brothers and three sisters. I lived with my family 18 years. I was taking care of my younger siblings.

Secondly, I got married to my lovely husband when I was 18. Moreover, I had my first child when I was 20 years old. I have a few hobbies, such as, watching movies and TV shows, shopping, and running. I have several goals, most of them are related to my kids, such as, helping them to get through college and get good jobs. In order to achieve this goal is to get a diploma and get a job to support my family financially. In short, I am just like any other mother who is trying to make her life and her family life better.
