I'm 3 months into college, and I've met so many wonderful people so far, including international students. Some of my friends are from India, Ukraine, China, and Germany; they're lovely people but under constant stress due to our administration, worried to speak their opinion for fear of undue consequences. My friends, of course, are still privileged in that they speak English. Today, I believe the English classes that the Center for New Americans provides are important not just socially, but for safety.
The news as of late has been horrific. I'm glad to be doing a small part, though, and I'm eternally grateful to anyone who donates to this worthwhile cause. $30 (One for each poem!) is a great place to start!
You can read my poems here. Now, let's get started!
