Lola is a Refugee
Lola is a brave five-year-old who has moved to Montreal from Mexico. She faces challenges in her new classroom but learns the importance of tolerance and acceptance.
Lola had just moved to Montreal from Mexico. She was excited but also nervous about her new school. In class, her teacher asked everyone to share something about themselves. Lola wanted to tell her classmates that she was a refugee and what that meant. But she was worried they wouldn't understand or be nice to her.
On her first day, Lola tried to explain what being a refugee meant. But one of the kids, Max, said, - Why did you come here? Aren't you scared? Lola felt sad and didn't know how to explain it to Max. - I just want to make friends, Lola thought quietly.
Lola tried to join the other kids during recess. - Can I play with you? she asked. But they were playing a game she didn't know. - You can't play if you don't know the rules, said Emily. Lola felt left out and sat alone on the bench, watching the other kids play.
Lola felt like she would never fit in. She missed her home in Mexico. - Maybe I'll never have friends here, she thought with teary eyes. But then, she remembered how her mom always told her to be strong. - I have to try again, Lola decided.
The next day, Lola's teacher, Ms. Carter, noticed she was sad. - Why don't you show them your special dance from Mexico? Ms. Carter suggested. Lola gathered her courage and performed the dance. The other kids clapped and cheered, wanting to learn it too. - That was amazing, Lola! Max said with a big smile.
After sharing her dance, Lola felt more confident. The kids started to ask her questions about Mexico. - Can you teach us some words in Spanish? asked Emily. Lola smiled and began teaching them, feeling happy and included. She realized that being different was special, and she had friends now.
