Living Like a Refugee

Right now, in Europe, Syrian refugees are looking for a place to live.

Here's an understatement:

It's not easy living like a refugee.

The dictionary definition of a refugee is a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster.

But the image that forms in my mind when I hear the word 'refugee' is a person determined to live despite overwhelming obstacles.

I wish life and success to refugees all over the world today.

And I pledge to live my own life, and write my life story, with the same type of determination they have.
