Remember where they came from from "summary" of When Stars Are Scattered by Victoria Jamieson,Omar Mohamed
In the midst of bustling refugee camp life, it can be easy for people to forget the struggles that brought them there. But it is crucial to hold onto those memories, to remember where they came from. Those memories serve as a reminder of the resilience and strength that helped them survive unimaginable hardships. For Omar and Hassan, their journey to the refugee camp was marked by loss, fear, and uncertainty. They were forced to leave behind their home, their family, and everything they knew. In the face of such adversity, it would have been easy for them to lose hope and give up. But they didn't. Instead, they clung to their memories of home, of their mother's laughter, and of the dreams they once had. These memories became a source of comfort and motivation, driving them to keep moving forward even when the road ahead seemed impossible. In the refugee camp, surrounded by thousands of other displaced people, it would have been easy for Omar and Hassan to become just another face in the crowd. But they refused to be forgotten. They held onto their memories, their identity, and their dreams, refusing to let go of who they were and where they came from. As they navigated the challenges of life in the camp, those memories served as a guiding light, a reminder of the resilience and courage that lay within them. They drew strength from their past, using it to fuel their determination to create a better future for themselves and their loved ones. In the end, remembering where they came from wasn't just about holding onto the past. It was about honoring the struggles and sacrifices that brought them to where they were. It was a testament to their resilience, their strength, and their unwavering belief that they deserved a brighter tomorrow.
