We watched a video about kids being trapped without their parents in places where there are very few supplies. Kids had to take care of each other and a lot of kids were put in one cell. ]]> 2020-06-21 19:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/srutstein1/refugeeexperiences/wish/635287681 srutstein1 https://padlet.com/srutstein1/refugeeexperiences/wish/635322198 Refugees go through a lot of hard times like leaving their home and losing people they love. They also have to learn a lot of new things, like, a new language, new laws and government, and the way people act. So we should respect refugees for their hard work and what they have been through. ]]> 2020-06-21 20:51:54 UTC https://padlet.com/srutstein1/refugeeexperiences/wish/635322198 srutstein1 https://padlet.com/srutstein1/refugeeexperiences/wish/635327388 I learned that some challenges that refugees faced were losing the people that they love. Or moving away from where they had their childhood memories. A lot of people lost important things on the way. Some people even got separated from their family. These were the hard challenges that refugees faced. ]]> 2020-06-21 21:00:50 UTC https://padlet.com/srutstein1/refugeeexperiences/wish/635327388 srutstein1 https://padlet.com/srutstein1/refugeeexperiences/wish/635327918 I think that the government should always make sure that refugees are doing okay and to figure out a proper system for them to come.

By the time they make it to a new country, they have already been through so many difficult experiences and deserve the help of society as the rebuild their lives in a foreign environment. ]]> 2020-06-23 16:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/srutstein1/refugeeexperiences/wish/637690067 https://padlet.com/srutstein1/refugeeexperiences/wish/637690157 It is so wonderful that the students are learning the reasons behind immigration to the United States. Maybe if all young students learned some of the reasons behind immigration and learned about the (sometimes difficult) plight, our country, as a whole, would be more tolerant.
