I’m Mohammed. I’m 19 years old. Two years ago I came to Germany because of the war in Syria.
At first I was forced to go to Turkey. After that I went back to my city (Kobani) after ISIS was gone. But I couldn’t live and study there without work. That’s why I decided to come to Germany.
First I went to Turkey, then I drove with a boat from Turkey to Greece. Then I walked to Macedonia, from there I took the train to Bulgaria. And then I came to Germany by truck.
And here in Germany I immediately started to learn German so that I could integrate myself better into society and also so that I could continue my studies.
