A School For My Village
A Life For Life A young man with no intensions but to survive, and fight for every second of his life, in order to pursue a life of happiness for himself and his family is my role model, Kamel Daifi, my father.

After reading the book, A School For My Village, written by Twesigye Jackson Kaguri with Susan Urbanek Linville, found my fathers past experiences similar to those orphans who struggled and accounted by Mr. Kaguri in A School For My Village.

My father and Mr. Kaguri are similar due to the goal to help others who cannot support ones-self and the religious belief of having faith in god whether it’s a good consequence or bad in their lives. Hearing my fathers life the day of graduation, gave me an understanding of how lucky I am to come to America and be provided with schools, healthcare, and to experience the term “land of opportunity”.

My father, having nothing to depend on for the future, gave him dedication to become an entrepreneur and help others. Mr. Kaguri and my father grew up poor. They’re main goal was to help others and want to represent himself as an example to the world. My father left Lebanon at the age of twenty-two, to begin working for a restaurant owner in Saudi Arabia.
