Today I am doing the Summer Learning Journey's Day 5 Activity 2. the Summer Learning Journey is a program that helps children keep track of their work. I am so glad that my school is participating in the Summer Learning Journey because that means that I can get more blog post and Learn about cool different things. For this activity we were asked to retell the of a young woman named Yursa Mardini. She is currently a 21 year old girl and was a member of the Refugee Olympic Athletes team.
In 2015 when she was about 18 years old. Yursa and her older sister flew to Europe to find safety from the Syrian War. After fifteen minutes of her sea crossing the engine broke down. Yursa, her sister and two other's managed to save 20 people's lives by swimming.

I really like the narrative you shared about Yusra. How could you be a changemaker for others?

Hi Sulia! Yursa Mardini's story is super interesting, and definitely says a lot about her bravery, courage, and mindfulness. I think she is a great role model, and should be someone to look up to! I'm glad you were able to find out a lot about Yursa. What were your first thoughts after reading about her? Nice work!
