Well informed 2.0 - Syria & Immigration


We had the opportunity to watch a really interesting video in our class and it was extremely eye opening to me. To be honest, I really haven’t ever thought too much about all the refugees and the lives that they have been living, so this video hit me really hard. As unbelievable as it all seems to me, at the same time it all just became real. That people are actually living lives like this! The life that the family with these two girls lives is truly just so shocking to me. I can’t imagine a life like that, living in the middle of a war, hiding out in abandoned cities and buildings, and having your dad just go out every day to fight off the enemy as his day job, and never knowing if he's going to come home or not. Learning to become so familiar with this whole scene that you can actually tell the difference between different guns and missiles. Watching this has gotten me a whole lot more interested in getting these people over to safer grounds, and made me realize how much I appreciate and love the life I live right now! I want more people to be able to experience this kind of living.
