I am tutoring at a poor public school . And I work with students one on one. So, I get to know them. And so I met a student I will call Joe.
His story below the fold:
Joe's mom was a cop somewhere. She caught and put in prison 3 members of some criminals somewhere in the world. They have threatened to kill her and her two relatives, one of whom is Joe. They already killed someone else related to this. The three of them are applying for political asylum. I don't yet know the details of their case, but what I do know is that apparently there is a serious chance that they will not be granted political asylum.
Joe is an extremely bright, advanced student (way ahead of his peers in some anonymous class). He is very self-aware and understands the wider world in a mature way,well beyond his years. He is very responsible and a great person.
His relative must be unbelievably brave. She has courageously chosen a dangerous but important profession. She and her relative bravely chose to try to start a new life here.
They cannot go back to somewhere in the world. If they do, they will probably be killed.
Can anyone here please help ? Thank you !!!
