Biography circled in red marker

I’m Shirin S. I was born in Tehran, Iran. I have a big family in Iran: my dad, my mom and I had a brother. He passed away nearly 9 years ago. He was the first child. After him, I have 2 sisters who are older than me. I’m the 4th child. I have another sister who is 2 years younger than me.

Before I got married, my brother died. After 4 years of marriage, in 2012, I moved to Vancouver, Canada. I lived in downtown Vancouver for one year. When I lived there, I had a job and I attended school. Two months before my daughter was born, we moved to Prince Rupert for my husband’s business. My daughter was born in Prince Rupert in 2014. It was so hard because I don’t have any family here. Prince Rupert is a small city and 10, 000 people live here. Prince Rupert is so beautiful, but doesn’t have many good services for learn English or programs for families or children. I like living in big cities where I can learn more English outside. In a big city I can have my favourite job and my daughter can go to a good school. In my free time I like to read books and watch movies.
