If you walk by me....

My name is Elvisa Pasic; I was born and raised in Sarajevo, Bosnia. When I was 13 my mom, brother and I moved to Neenah, WI which is where I went to Middle School and High School. I am going to UW-Whitewater, majoring in International Studies with an emphasis in Public Diplomacy and minors in Criminal Justice and Forensic Science.  I hope to be a Special Agent for FBI and work with domestically abused and raped victims, which I hope will lead me to work for NATO some day and work internationally.  On campus I am the Academic Affairs Director for Whitewater Student Government, Greek/Leadership Intern for SEAL, house manager for Tri Sigma Sorority and Head Delegate for PHC.  I take pride and honor to be involved and couldn’t imagine not doing as much as I do. I have social media knowledge with facebook and twitter as well as computer knowledge. The poem bellow I wrote in high school and it describes my childhood in a nutshell. 




War Child
If you were to walk by me with all your grace; you wouldn’t even stop and look at me and think of who I am. It wouldn’t even cross your mind to ask me how I have been, where I’ve been and where I am now. You wouldn’t even imagine that, when your generation was laughing, playing and living a happy life, I was hiding in the basement from bombs and grenades.
When kids my age went to bed and dreamed wondrous dreams, I prayed through the night for humanity and to see another day.
When I was hungry, you were full
When I was cold, you were comfy
When I cried, you laughed so silly
When I survived, you just kept on living!
So what do you think about me now? Do not feel sorry, for I am a War-Child, just another one of the many!
