2. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS Q1.HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN YOU LEFT YOUR COUNTRY?

3. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS Q2. ARE YOU SCARED ABOUT YOUR FUTURE? ANSWER: Yes I am.To live another day we had to face a risky way.Too many people we know about was suddenly gone.The ones you share your bread with just disappears some day and you don’t have time to greave about them.You just have to move on for yourself.In countries we came we’re facing with xenofobia.No one is giving job or house to us because we are foreigners to them.They say we should go somewhere else like we are with plague.This is even worse than the terror of the war’s itself

4. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS Q3. WHERE DO YOU PLAN TO MOVE? ANSWER:Wherever we wouldn’t face with hatred. Differences Shouldn’t make us invincible or untouchable. All people care about is safety. Because without it we cannot provide happiness for youngsters and we cannot feel the hope we need.

5. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS Q4. WERE THERE ANY LOSSES DURING YOUR TRAVEL? ANSWER: Yes there were.Little ones, pregnant women and elder.I wish we hadn’t had to lose those people... Q5. WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR YOU TO ABIDE BY THE LAWS OF THE COUNTRY YOU ARE HOSTED? ANSWER: All of us came to Europe to seek a better life… In order to achieve that, many of us try to find a job. However, wherever we go to find a job, all answers are negative. As a result a lot of refugees get dissapointed and in order to get by, they steal. I don’t agree with this kind of act but we have no choice other than stealing from others.

6. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS Q6. WHY DID YOU LEAVE YOUR COUNTRY? ANSWER: We leave our country to find better jobs and better life standarts.When we lost our jobs it was tolerable but when it came to our safety we had to live.
