Shiam

1/6/2016

 
"Our family moved here from Syria four years ago. My mother was very motivated for all of us to learn English when we were growing up, so we had language lessons, listened to English music, and watched movies in English. When we'd see American shows, we'd think, 'So that's how it is in America? That's what high school is like there?'

"I haven't struggled with the language like a lot of people have, because my mother pushed us so much. It was hard at the time, but I'm glad she did. I'm in college now and studying to become a nurse practitioner."
