The Golden Gate: from Burma to San Francisco

Sofiia Season 1 Episode 49

Imagine you are a fifteen-year-old from Asia. You live with your family in your hometown but suddenly find yourself moving to San Francisco. California, the ocean near your house, the Golden Gate Bridge somewhere on the horizon—sounds fascinating, right? But what if there’s a civil war in your country? What if you had to leave your entire family behind, except for your father? What if you had to attend high school in a completely new country and build friendships from scratch? How would you feel? What questions would people around you ask?

Listen to this episode to hear the story of a girl from Burma named Laura, who has lived through all these experiences to discover her answers to these questions—and much more!
