FuckedUp Paths
Born and raised in Yerevan, Armenia I majored in languages and literature, tried teaching for some time, decided it was not for me as I couldn’t keep a healthy distance from the pupils, was getting too involved and was not taken seriously/respected/feared (as the traditional schooling system requires) as a result. Moved to North Africa(dream come true) 6 years ago and started a career in tourism industry and thought it was what I wanted to do for living since I was good at it; turned out NOT - I missed my homeland and wanted to contribute to the social change happening here. Left literally everything behind except my daughter and a suitcase and moved back to Armenia in summer 2015 and started working for a platform helping the Syrian refugees. My current struggle is to find a balance and not to get too involved with each case as refugees become overly dependent on aid while the aim is for them to become self-sustainable in the long run.
