Who are my Heroes? Mine are my Mother and God.

I grew up in rural South Dakota in a small town of only about 87 people. I was the only Muslim girl, but I had a fun, innocent childhood. Alhumdulillah. My mom oversaw where who we had as friends & also what we did. We got to be involved in a lot of things most kids don't experience, due to the fact that my mother took us to historical re-enactments. We didn't watch the events, we where IN the events. I have been involved in everything from the medieval period up through civil war period re-enactments. We even went once to a Sci-Fi convention with friends. Mind you, having a mother that is a costumer helps alot. So the pictures below illustrate the diversity. We also had a creative place to grow up. You have to understand, while the town is small it has a high percentage of artists. Some of them internationally recognized. We had two sound studios that regularly were recording music (both Native American musicians & jazz/Blues at one studio; and Country & Polka music at the other). We also had three pottery shops, and a variety of other artists in town. One neighbor owned a covered wagon & ox-cart that were used regularly in historical re-enactments & even in films. Due to this, the animals had to be used to unusual sounds, including sounds of excited children. So we regularly went on wagon rides around the area. I even ended up being in a movie as a little girl. Never saw the end result. I was only about 9 at the time, and I was supposed to run to the fort yelling that some soldiers were coming. I was so nervous, I kept tripping & falling; getting up & running some more, and tripping & falling. I did this all the way up to the stairs of the building. Tripping wasn't supposed to be part of it, but the director thought it was so perfect, he kept it in. LOL That was one of my "Cassy moments" now recorded for history buffs. LOL
