Summary: I want to instill in the minds of our student’s the importance of family value. This story also talks about family working together, respecting one another, but most importantly teaches a lesson to always give time to listen to someone needing help or asking for something. It is important to learn your language and culture and be proud of who you are and where you came from. Don’t give up and to always try.
