Question

How did SB’s experiences impact his feelings about school?

Answer 1

Answer:

The fast-paced environment of the school, the discriminatory comments from fellow students, language barriers and differences in culture negatively affected SB and made him lose his zeal for learning in school. He was however, encouraged by fellow refugees who had experienced similar things.

Explanation:

SB, a refugee in the United States described the negative experiences he encountered as a new student in a school in Dallas, United States of America. The other students knew their way around the school, and it seemed like everyone laughed at him. Some made discriminatory remarks at him, such as the boy who told him not to play in the school's football team. The negative experiences impacted negatively on SB and weakened his zeal for schooling.

He sought help from his fellow refugee peers who encouraged him to put in the required effort to succeed. SB now believes that he can succeed if his peers could.
