Before the revolution, I was a teacher at the Ahmad al-Shami school and deputy head teacher at the Community Education School, operated by a charity organisation in Douma. I used to study geography at Damascus University, I didn't graduate from university because I was dismissed from college for security reasons after I had been arrested. I have participated in revolution-related activities since the beginning of the Syrian uprising. I was once arrested for four hours for taking part in a protest. However, I didn't expect to be arrested again. But I was detained once more in Damascus in an ambush as I was held in a Kafr Souseh security office. I was held for one month and was released in an exchange-of-prisoner deal that led to the release of 48 Iranians who had been captured by the Baraa Brigades. I was released on December 1, 2012, and since then, I have decided to dedicate all my time to civil work. With the help of my friends, I founded the Iqra Centre, an elementary education centre for children. On January 1, 2015, I was appointed director of the Office of Women's Affairs in Eastern Ghouta. A turning point in my life during those five years happened on December 13, 2015, when the regime forces targeted the school where I was teaching. The regime fired missiles at the school. The schoolyard was full of injured children and teachers. The blood of the injured children was everywhere. It was then when my viewpoint towards the war changed.
