When Kareem woke up that morning, he had no idea that the events of the day would change his life forever. It was seven o’clock on a chilly morning when he heard the phone ringing downstairs. This was the phone call that would change everything. It was his dad, telling him, his mum and his grandparents to come and live with him in America. Knowing this was a difficult decision for his mum, Kareem left her alone and walked along the dirt track to school. It would mean leaving his home and friends to go to a faraway place. But when he got home that afternoon, his mum told him she had decided to go. ‘It will be difficult at first,’ she said, ‘but I’m sure this is the best decision for your future and once we’re there, you will never look back.’ Arriving in America was exciting but scary. Kareem thought America was a wonderful place, but at first people laughed at his Saudi accent and he had to make new friends. He felt quite lonely but he said to himself, ‘I am strong and clever and I will soon feel at home’. After a few years, he decided he wanted to go to university and was granted a scholarship. Now he is studying to be a doctor and plans to return to Saudi Arabia one day to work in a hospital there. He often thinks of the day they received that phone call and how it changed his life forever.
