Refugee Crisis
Recently, I was able to interview a man over email named Solomon. Solomon works for my the same company my Dad does named Mercy Housing. Mercy Housing is a housing corporation that gives affordable housing to those who cannot provide for themselves. Solomon specifically works with Refugees, and helps them move into their new homes at their properties which span across the U.S. I was able to ask Solomon five basic questions on his job with Refugees and his experience with the people. One of my favorite responses Solomon had was when I asked him what he would like others to know about Refugees. Solomon stated: "Refugees are the most hard working people I have ever seen. They do not take anything for granted; they work any jobs available to make ends meet, they are family oriented, and they would rather go hungry than not paying rent. Other than a few of them still relies on government subsidies, most of the refugees I have encounter for the past ten years have been very successful in their life; they go to school, buy a new car within a year or two of arriving here, and most of them move out from Grace because they buy house." This was a true testament to me that, what I am arguing in my paper affects real lives. These people who I am advocating for are real people with real dream and ambitions, all we have to do is give them a chance to pursue their adventures.
