Burma-Professional+Viewpoints

[1]

This interview was set up with Julissa Chen from Burma. She has a husband and two sons living with her currently. She wasn't a refugee from Burma, but it was very interesting to hear a story about her childhood and life after coming to the United States. She currently works as a interpreter for the refugees coming from everywhere in the world. Her favorite moment to remember from when she was back in Burma, even though it was difficult for her to recall, was to go to school everyday with her friends. Our interview team was pretty surprised when we heard that everybody had to take a test to get into school starting from 1st grade. This interview gave me and my classmates a great overall view on Burma.
