PART 5: El Salvador In this segment, Sugeily Alvarez speaks with her mother about what it was like living in a war torn country, coping with horrible loss, and rising above all of her struggles to come to America and create a better life for her children. In the candid discussion that follows, students describe both their reaction to these stories, the tragedy of normalized violence, as well as detail their own experiences living in an environment where violence could erupt at any moment. Our series concludes with heartfelt words that stress the importance of being proud of who you are--and how, if we all share our stories, tomorrow will be better than today.
