You may not want to leave but it is either that or get bombed due to the war that is coming up. This is what some people may have gone through in the past years or even now. One may not know that struggle but others do. You'd think that you would have a choice wether you or not you want to stay but you in fact, don't. The families who suffer this may have to go through various obstacles and challenges. They may end up homeless, without food or a bath. If they find a home with another family they may be uncomfortable and without privacy. Another thing may be that this family may get in trouble without having any papers or documentation and be required to go back to their country, which might not even be a safe or good idea. Who knows where these refugee families may end up.]]> 2016-06-29 21:15:35 UTC https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/EngIISemI206/wish/115699792 dustinfuller16 https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/EngIISemI206/wish/116129447 Think about this. How would you like it if you were just sleeping in the comfort of your home when suddenly someone drags you out of your home? This is what many refugees had to do they had no other choice but to stay. Unless, you want to face bombing it would be in your best interest to leave. But this is easier said done than actually doing it. These refugees had to face many challenges trying to move to different countries, first of all they didn't have a place to stay, they don't have documentation to certify them to be in the United States and they didn't have any kind of currency to pay for anything.

It's very hard to be a refugee, many people don't understand how it feels to actually be one. They are homeless and getting food is hard in this kind of world today. Some might give out but others will walk by giving no help at all. Its very hard because, even attempting to get a job they still don't have documentation or any kind of Identification so they are told to move back to their own country which is one of the last choices they'd like to make.]]> 2016-07-08 21:12:26 UTC https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/EngIISemI206/wish/116129447 https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/EngIISemI206/wish/116827474 Refugees are people who have left their country or home in order to escape war, violence and/or persecution. The origin of the word refugee has been adapted from WWII which meant someone who left the country of nationality because of welfare and fears of being prosecuted.  Roughly half the worlds refugees are children. Some children are unaccompanied by adults and the remainder of the refugees do not have legal documents to get on flights or into countries that can aid them.

The life of a refugee is not fun, as you can see it is repetitive and annoying. Living in fear is no way to live, but for them it is the only way to live. 
They run for their lives away from life threatening bombs. With no certification or identification, they are homeless and struggling to survive.]]> 2016-07-22 20:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/EngIISemI206/wish/116829142 https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/EngIISemI206/wish/117006179 People who move as a group across international boundaries to escape war or civil conflict are recognized as refugees. They have almost over one hundred immigrants that get into skiffs and try to cross the roughest waters women and children. Many die of starvation lack of water or other reasons. They do it because they want to be free a new life . Groups in Africa and Latin America, and frequently in Asia and the Middle East as well. There are many things people go through to  determine whether or not each individual meets the criteria for refugee status.

Refugees are sometimes mistaken for migrants, but they are two different things. Refugees flee by persecution. Some parents send there children away in the middle of a war for there protection.

Refuges live a very rough life. One point in life they are living life and the next they are being rushed out of their homes in order to survive. The life of a refugee is not a life anybody wants to live, as you can see it is a life nobody wants to live. Living in fear for your life is a life no one wants to live, but for them it is the only way to live. Most of the time they have to run for their lives because of bombs. They are homeless and are trying to survive.]]> 2016-08-13 02:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/EngIISemI206/wish/118170466 https://padlet.com/virtualinstruction/EngIISemI206/wish/120135307 Many refugees had to do they had no other choice but to stay.
