G-d Grew Tired of Us

In class this week, we watched a movie called "G-d Grew Tired of Us", which is about a group of young men, called "The Lost Boys", who are Sudanese refugees who were chosen to go to America to start new lifes here. They were given an apartment and got jobs and learned about how we live here in America. This movie helped me realize many culture differences, as the young men were learning as well. By living in America, I am like a fish who cannot see the water I am swimming in; it is all I know. Many things we do here are very different from what The Lost Boys are used to, but I do not see what we do here, like all our processed foods, our lonely way of living, etc, as weird or different because that is what I've grown up with my whole life.
