Xaawo
To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance. -Oscar Wilde Three months went by, and Xaawo has learned a heap about herself, her obstacles, and her new home. Her English language skills are becoming a crowd-pleaser, she's been getting straight A's, and she's developing a strong bond with Samara, an American-Russian girl who attends the same school as her. Since she immigrated from Mogadishu to Minnesota, Samara hasn't left her side; she's walked every step of a dark, scary, and lengthy trek every single day.

A little bit about Eric Smith Eric Smith before the tragedy. This photo was retrieved from www.dailystar.co.uk. Eric Smith was born on January 22, 1980 in the secluded village of Savona, New York. By the time Eric was an infant until he was a pre-teen, he’d been exhibiting disturbing behaviours like head-banging, yelling, punching, smoking, burning objects, killing and torturing small animals, etc. His mother, Tammy Smith (née Wilson), took Tridione, a medication to help control epileptic seizures, which negatively impacted Eric’s development. She took it while she was pregnant with him, and while she was pregnant with two of her other children.
