Today I watched the video entitled Child Artist Dreams of Return Iraq on Alive in Baghdad. This video told a story about a child who is a prodigy at art. His father is also an artist and has been his main mentor throughout his life. The child started painting when he was only 4 years old. This story is such an inspiring story because a child in a country where there is so much tension around is usually not to focused and faces problems with education and daily life, yet this child is facing this oppression and succeeding. He dreams of one day returning to his home country of Iraq and having the freedom of his people. This story is just inspirational in so many ways, showing that the Iraqi people still have a future in their children and they are teaching their children to be loyal and faithful to their country and heritage.
