Elhag, B: In Amreeka Zoned Out

I was born in Alexandria, Egypt in January 1996. I was born into Hosni Mubarak's regime as president, and only knew him as president until 2011. I spent most of 9 years living half in Minnesota and half in Egypt, but due to academic advantages, I received a high school diploma from America and stayed in New Jersey for college at Rutgers University. I graduated in 2018, and I am currently pursuing a M.S. in biomedical sciences. I have a good family and a few wonderful friends. I love soccer, hummus, and jalapenos. I treasure traveling and love spontaneous journeys to NYC, provided my bank account allows for it. I am now a first-time poet-author.
