Alex

in case your wondering, alex was the main character in the play done today by myself, audrey, elena, lucas and tj. i felt compelled to write about this young man because of exactly that: he is a young man. the majority of the stories we have read throughout the class has been from the point of view of an adult, minus a few like Show and Tell. anyways, alex really hit me hard today because i realized children are almost forgotten when we talk about refugees; i know when i picture a refugee i think of a man with nothing, but the truth is a refugee is anyone! and to be a child refugee is definitely life changing, and todays play portrayed perfectly exactly what these children go through. these children are the strongest of children, mentally and physically, being able to travel halfway across the world and still survive at such a young age, even through fear from the war, confusion of what exactly is going on, and most important where are we? i look up to these children, they are the pinnacle of mental toughness.
