outcasts with a purpose

Seeing as I didn’t get the chance to see the author of outcasts united because of a class, I will speak about how this book relates to what we are learning about in class. Recently in the group project we did, one of the words that my group had selected was community. Just like at Southern Connecticut State University where there is a wide and diverse community, the town of Clarkston, Georgia has a very vast community of people living in it. We are very unique in the people that populate Southern Connecticut State University, with all different races, and lifestyles there could never be a dull moment on campus. The refugees make Clarkston, Georgia their home and they make it very unique with the one thing they all have in common which is soccer. We are all from different towns and states, they are from different countries and they come together to play soccer, we come together to further our learn experience and better our lives. Many other things that we have done with this group project recently relates to the book also. Working together, to complete the task at hand. The refugees came together to play soccer, learn about the American culture, and have fun doing what they loved doing. Even though it was hard for them in the beginning to get adjusted to a whole new place they eventually got used to it. Just like in our case we are in a new place, and we have to get used to the new people around us, we are in the new area and we have to get used to not seeing our parents as much and learning to do things on our own, just as the refugees did.
