In Burundi where Thuabonye is from, it is normal for students to stop going to school after a certain age. here in America we have to go up to school up until the 12th grade. Then after that we can decide if we are going to go to college or not.

"like the Twa, we seldom wore shoes, and at that point in my life we never had a pair and wouldn't for a few more"

Gilbert did not own shoes for most of his life. it was not until he got older that he would get shoes. This is a difference because i have always had shoes growing up.

This is a similarity because when i was younger i helped my mom out around the house like tuhabonye did with is parents.

When Tuhabonye started school he did not have many friends, he did not mind being alone. When i moved to Verona i did not have any friends at all I was not very bothered by it, i made a couple new friends since being here.

"it was nearly a two hour walk from my home,and for that reason i did not start school until i was seven.” Gilbert Tuhabonye page 44 This Voice in My Heart

# data[].attributes.body
Tuhabonye was seven having to walk two hours to school and then walk two hours back home. This is a difference because when i was younger i did not have to walk to school and if i did it was not almost a four hour walk.

School is one of Tuhabonyes value because he wants to be as successful as his Uncle Eliphaz. He wants to make his family proud and not have them fell like him going to School was a waste of time and money.
