to the Cote Divoire: I almost

His grandfather used to be a

States he lived in Kenya for 8
years as a refugee there. He says
that hopefully when he gets his

you land in a different place, Deng said. She
grew up between Sudan and Uganda.
When she arrived at the States with her
brother and a cousin she began at 10th

have a formal education background before
I got here. She said she put school as
her top priority. She said she is going into
international relations, and has her eyes set
on Michigan or Georgetown University

Living in Sudan I really dont recall; I was little. I was born in 1984,
and the war broke out in 1983. He and his brother moved between
Ethiopia, Sudan and Kenya for years escaping war. He moved with
his brother, cousin, and most of his family to the States but not with
his mother and father.
He arrived to America with 3,000 other kids from Sudan. He lives
with a host family, who he says he loves, since they are his parents
here.
Coming here was tough, especially the language, but Im a pretty
easy guy to get along with anybody, Kuol said.
I try to be positive, to be a good ambassador of my people, so I
can tell them (Americans) where we come from and tell them whowe are and what we want, Kuol is part of the Dinka tribe.
In the fall he is transferring to Western Michigan, and majoring in
Civil Engineering,
