Michel's Essay
For my essay I want to let the world know some things about refugees.
The life of a refugee is not easy because of his problems that pushed him to leave his own country, for example. Other left their country because of war, because of death threats. But also other problems they also encounter, bad living conditions where the trauma sometimes makes you sick.
You have to be careful. The conditions are not human. Sometimes you meet people who keep you deprived because you are a refugee.
You are not considered a human.
A refugee is not an offender, he is a person who left his own country for protection, for a better life.
During the long months of lockdown we invited all the Samos community to join in a Essay Writing Competition. The topic of the 2 pages essay was an open question:
What do you want the world to know about refugees?
Participants could answer this question with complete freedom: they could talk about the conditions in the camp, their perspective on the situation, their daily routine, important stories they wanted to share, their wishes and hopes for the future.
We received 11 entries, all of them were praiseworthy and valuable. They have been evaluated by our language teachers based on creativity of content, vocabulary usage, orthography and argumentative structure.
Here is the essay wrote by Michel, winner of the spelling award.
