Young Noor moved from Syria to Iraq, then to Turkey, and finally to the States. In an interview with Mona Kattan, Stars revealed how she got a grip on the English language, which she learned at the British International School, Istanbul, which helped her transition to the United States. In the same podcast, she also talked about how she wouldn't change a thing from her past as it contributed to the present version of her. "Every part taught me something, and I learned to not take anything for granted, I learned to appreciate every person in my life. Every person I met daily, I felt like God sent them to me," she said.

Like many other successful people like Richard Branson and Warren Buffett, Stars also feels that keeping good people close can help you overcome difficult times. "When I was in Turkey, I had no money, I was probably, like 13 or 14, I was working illegally, you know, you gotta do what you gotta do, I felt like everything is closed, and life is black, I was not going to school and working. I was getting to work at 6 am and leaving work at 10 or 11 pm. One day, I stopped in a garden, where this old Turkish lady saw me and she came, and asked me in Turkish, if I was okay, and sat next to me and started telling me how god is great, how god is here for us and god loves us. I get the chills just by remembering it, that why this old lady would stop and come to me...I took it as a message," Stars shared.
