It Could Have Been Me

By: Abdulkarim, Lina M.

Yasmeen is a typical 10-year-old girl, looking forward to the weekend, until her father insists she join him at the masjid to meet refugee families. Reluctantly, she goes, expecting nothing in common with them, until she meets Sumoud, a refugee girl her age. Despite their different lives, they quickly bond. As Yasmeen listens to Sumoud's stories of life in a refugee camp, she begins to see the world through new eyes.

Their growing friendship sparks a deep reflection in Yasmeen, inspiring her to make a difference. This is a story of empathy, resilience, and the power of friendship - one that highlights how easily our lives could have been different if fate had chosen otherwise.
