I feel that the book was an important eye opener. It showed how a boy goes through a new envoirnemnt, totally foreign from his own. This compared to our situation because as new students at Baruch College we were placed in a new enviornment where we didnt know what to expect. Through this lesson, we should always remember not to judge people based on where there from because we are all different people – with different combinations of traits that makes us unique.
In terms of the conference, I got most of the key points. I understood that we all at one point or another ask who we are? or why are we here ? it is important to always be aware of where you stand and if you loose track, to find yourself. No matter where were from, we always have obstacles to overcome.
