CROSSROADS project in action 🔥

We’ve analyzed Juan’s life story & Yuyi’s life story — Now, we’re finding a CRUCE ❌ — where do these characters’ experiences meet?

Each character has a journey —
🔘 Before migrating
🔘 Border Crossing
🔘 Life in the US

This CROSSROADS project

🫶 Connect to build a foundation
🏆 Cultivate high-expectation conditions
💪 Challenge Ss to encourage persistence
👑 Control in the hands of Ss

However this past week went, look back on it and feel proud of the effort you put in, reminds T Ms. Jachymiak.
