I was the girl teachers requested‚ I made everything I ever tried out for‚ and in every leadership position in almost every club.

Life as a refugee Living as a refugee is a life filled with horror and petrifying situations. A life which I don’t think can be defined as a life‚ many haven’t lived in years.
