Ung had felt a wild amount of emotions that had to do with the war in Cambodia. Distraught. Disbelieving. Disoriented. Confused‚ on how everything changed and ultimately a rebellion took over her life. In “First They Killed My Father”‚ Ung had her childhood stripped away from her‚ forcing her to work‚ adjust to wartime‚ and the consequences that come from war. During the war‚ Ung had to experience hunger and let this affect her daily intake of food. This was something Ung was not familiar with

Like many of my fellow students standing in one of the two lines separated by the first letter of our last name‚ we would be voting for the first time for President of the United States.

friends‚ family‚ and my laughter. Growing up and born in my native country gave me a feeling like I was wanted there‚ like I belong there. Laughing and playing were the things I do the most. I got a nickname‚”bà điên”(crazy lady)‚ from my random outburst of laugher. I was totally unaware of something that was soon to come and change my life. I was still in grade school playing with my friends when my dad came with the principle and told me that I am going to America. The word “Mỹ” (America) would

into the sky‚ screaming in pain and I’m holding my knee close to my chest‚ all I could think about was not about my knee‚ but my family‚ friends‚ and coaches. I remembered before the game that my teammates and I were on one knee holding hands in the locker room‚ saying the “Our Father” with confidence. As we were saying the prayer‚ I came to think that this will be my last first high school football game ever‚ I’ve worked so hard to get to this point.

This year’s national theme for Catholic Schools Week is “Catholic Schools: A+ for America.” The five years I have been at St. Dominic’s‚ I have experienced that it is very different then a public school and is much better.

We also have a Christmas play which is run by the 8th grade every year. On top of that we have a great

Maddie Zisk My first day in an English speaking school. I thought back‚ to everything‚ everything that had happened and where it all had started. Here‚ it had started here. Memories flooded back‚ memories of people‚ memories of places‚ memories of… of everything. With one last look around I took a deep breath and boarded the aeroplane‚ I was ready.

I had to learn how to take public transportation‚ how to interact with my coworkers‚ work with different types of people‚ and also learn punctuality. In a way‚ it was almost like I had learned real life skills in under 3 months
