@TheFirmBiscuit Let's hope it's easier to sing than the Star Spangled Banner. Many singers have trouble with the top notes.
The interesting part of working with asylum seekers is that they are looking forward - housing, job, learning English, rather than looking back to where they came from. Despite the shitty conditions in the shelters.
All the men in my grandfather's family emigrated to the US. He always said that if he had stayed, he would have died young and never wanted to return to the country of his birth. He came to the US with nothing, could not speak English, and died a successful business owner with a large and loving family.
The people who succeed in the US are the ones who take advantage of being able to create a new life and who think outside the box. H and M seems to be building the box around themselves.
