Family Reunification. Old wounds are not always easy to heal.

Please read the following passage from "Enrique's Journey." The reality, however is that it takes years and years until the children and mothers are together again. By the time that happens, if it happens, the children are usually very angry with their mothers. They feel abandoned. Their mothers are stunned by this judgment. They believe their children should show gratitude, not anger. After all, the mothers sacrificed being with their children, worked like dogs, all to help provide their children with a better life and future" (15). Does this quote ring true in your experience? How might this help us in supporting our students' socio-emotional health and welfare?

Our personal Journey.

"Life is a journey not a destination"
Ralph Waldo Emerson

What journey have you had to travel to get to where you are today?  Have your parents or family members shared their journey with you?  How has that helped to make you into the person you are today?
