I am Paul Hallstrom and I was born 1953 in Tehran, the big and crowded but beautiful capital city of IRAN. I was brought up in a middle class household. It was assumed that I would study, get job and have a family over there. Before I realized what was really going on in the first years of the revolution I moved out of the country. Six months resident in Turkey was one of the hardest time in my life, though I learnt a lot and it was a useful and necessary start for living in a foreign country. This time was the first time I lived on my own but the way I had been brought out I had no problem with that. The bad economical situation, thoughts about an uncertain future and being far away of family, friends and home for ever were the main problems.
December 1981 I came to Linköping in Sweden. I studied Swedish and after that I started to work, after some years I relized I want to stady more. For the moment I study computer in Värnamo Folkhögskola.My hobbies are reading, and net surfing. I like Poetry too. Here is my favorite one:
Follow your dream.........
Follow your dream..
take one step at a time
and don't settle for less,
just continue to climb
Follow your dream..
if you stumble, don't stop
and lose sight of your goal,
press on to the top
For only on top
can we see the whole view,
can we see what we've done and what you can do,
can we then have the vision to seek something new..
Press on
and follow your dream
