Yusra Is a Refugee from Syria, Yusra and her elder sister fled the Syria war and then sat off to find safety in Europe. They travelled through Lebanon to Turkey before departing for Greece in an dinghy which was overcrowded, they jumped on a boat because the war was still happening 15 minutes into the sea crossing he engine failed. Yusra and her sister didn't want any of their fellow passengers to drown so they jumped into the waves and jumped for 2 or 3 hours in an open water to stop their dinghy from inflating, now she is an Olympic swimmer, she aims to compete in the Olympic games in Tokyo 2020.
Hi Moala, Mrs Collins again commenting on blogs over term break. Well done on posting and participating in the SLJ this year. I really like the narrative you shared about Yusra being brave... sometimes being brave can be hard too, I'm glad you enjoyed the courage Yusra showed! Keep blogging, and commenting on others, to increase your chance of winning one of the awesome prizes and to keep up your learning over the school break!
