Summary Of Shattered Lives By Kristin Lewis
After reading the article, “Shattered Lives” by Kristin Lewis, the challenges Dania faces living as a refugee outside her country was trying to find a school education.

    One of the social problems that concerns me is how immigrants/refugees parents can be supportive in their children’s academic success from middle to high school in the Wake County area. Most immigrants/refugees’ children face difficulties in school, at least in their first year in the school.

Speaking from my own experience, all of my refugee friends that I grew up with and went to school with in Texas never had parents assisting us with our school work. However, our parents had higher expectations from us for doing good in school. Two of the main things that prevent parents from being part of their children’s academic progress are language barriers and lack of academic education. In my case, my mother did not…
