About Me

My name is Ahmed Aboud. I’m 17 years old and I live in a village called Heberg. I came to Sweden two years ago. Before I came to Sweden I lived in Jordan. I’m born in the capital of Iraq that is called Baghdad. Baghdad is a very big city. There live about three million inhabitants there.

We are 7 people in my family. My father is 49 years old and he came to Sweden almost five years ago, his name is Amer. My mother is 45 years and she studies in SFI because she has to learn Swedish.

I go to Falkenberg’s High school. I am studying at the Industriprogramme, welding. My school is in a town called Falkenberg. Falkenberg is a small town. But I like this.

My interest is to do repair work on cars, turn and to weld. I’ll be a welder when I leave. I like athletics as long jump and hundred meters.

I and my friends often go into the centre of Falkenberg, it is not big but we like to do that. After I go home I do my home work if I have any. There is no problem with my economy. My father and mother they give me money and I get my study allowance and I think there is enough for me. I buy everything I need and I save the rest to buy a car.

When I leave school I will work in a big factory. I want to work for a few years then study to be police man. Because I have always wanted to be police and that is my great dream.
