This week my class was reading this book called My name is Rez. We were learning what a refugee is and how hard it is to go to another country and not knowing that language. My name is Rez was based on a true story.
Rez and her family lived in Kurdistan but had to escape because of the war and went to Iran. But when Rez went to school she couldn't speak English but could only say "My name is Rez" and get bullied for that.
My favorite part is when Rez and her family came to New Zealand, and not after a long time felt like she was home. When Rez grew up she began to be really successful. She was the youth advisor for the red cross. And was a lawyer for a big law firm.
