“His thoughts went to Kismaayo, and lately, particularly of Abdi. If there were a hero in this story, it was Abdi. Jon thought, this young man from Maine had left that war weary husk of a country called Somalia and had come to these United States of America to pursue the dream of happiness, security, and hope.”
Mike Bennett, Las Vegas on Twelve Dollars a Day

“If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.”
