This is one of my babies!!! He was in my English for Math class back in 2004. He is really the nicest young man, and visits with me a lot in the hall. He always asks about Marcie, who came to his class twice that year to help teach AP Psychology. He's a smart fellow, learning what means the most to you and then asking about it when he sees you.
Quoted from http://www.hsgametime.com/dfw/sharedcontent/dws/content/topstories/stories/031208refugeemattgametimecopy.46ff17d6.html:
In September 2004, the United Nations refugee agency resettled Francis, Yagba and Robert in Dallas.
A month later, Robert, then a 16-year-old, enrolled at Hillcrest. Although he could speak three African languages and some broken English, he could not read or write because he had no schooling in the refugee camp.
