Stories

What are your favorite stories?  What stories have impacted you most?  How has your story been impacted by the stories of others?  A good story has the power to draw us in, making us laugh or cry.  In my experience at CRIS I've heard many stories.  Whether it's watching a family reunite or listening to the story of a loved one's death, I can't help but be changed by what I hear.Here is one powerful story of a man from Burundi who came to the U.S. with nothing and later attended an Ivy League university.  As you listen to this story think about the many people you meet every day and how their stories have the potential to become part of yours.You can listen to the story here: From Poverty to the Ivy League: A Refugee's Story
