From a different country by Constantina (A31 class, March 2017)

Years ago when the war in Syria began, my family left Syria  to save our lives.  One night, we all got on a boat to reach Europe.  Unfortunately, the overcrowded boat sank in the rough sea. I was the only survivor but left with no family, no home, no hope.

Just a compliment by Christiana (A31 class, March 2017)

I said I liked her hair. She smiled at me genuinely.  I smiled back.  I forgot about it after a few minutes. She went home feeling happy that day.  What I didn’t realise is that a small compliment made her believe in herself again.  It changed her.  It saved her.

Love yourself by Christiana (A31 class, March 2017)

I couldn’t stand it anymore seeing her crying and breaking inside. It was killing me. I didn’t know how to help.  This had to stop.  Her world needed to brighten up. She needed to love herself. The only problem was that she forgot how to do that. I could help.
