Debate for Peace

I am in the 5 Senses.

I am the colors of my school walls and the beautiful drawings that fill the place with life and joy.

I am the voice of my principal as she recites a prayer for us in the morning assembly every day, giving us a sense of peace.

I am the scent of my grandmother’s house, filled with antiques that hold beautiful stories and memories.

I am the flavor of Palestinian couscous, kibbeh and muhaddara, carrying the taste of home and heritage.

I am the soft feel of chicken feathers and the tiny chicks in my hands, making me feel warm and tender.
