I taught refugees basic English and Math skills. I also graded their worksheets and organized study plans for them. We disported and shared different cultures while listening to their innocent imagination. I felt a sense of self-improvement, confidence, and even discovering my soul's purpose. It not only makes me content but also makes me grateful.
