The Long Way Home:

A Student’s Story of Survival


When war breaks out without warning, childhood ends instantly. In The Long Way Home, a young schoolgirl is forced to flee when violent conflict erupts during the Congo–Rwanda war. Separated from her parents and stranded far from home, she begins a dangerous journey across the country—alone, frightened, and uncertain if she will ever see her family again. As she travels through villages and cities scarred by violence, she witnesses the brutal realities of war through the eyes of a child: loss, displacement, fear, and survival. Her journey reflects the experiences of countless children whose lives are reshaped by conflict they did not choose.

  Teaching Academic Seminar with Purpose: A Practical Guide for Special Education Resource Rooms and Inclusive Classrooms Academic Seminar should never be “just a study hall.” At its best, it is a structured, intentional space where students with disabilities build executive functioning skills, grow in confidence, and achieve independence. Too often, however, it is left undefined—an open period without clear goals or consistent systems.
