To the editor,
Thank you to Cheryl Rossi for her excellent article about Tupper student Somaya Amiri, whom I have the pleasure of teaching in Mini-English 12 this school year.
With deftness and compassion, Rossi highlighted Somaya’s accomplishments and how she is inspiration to all students and staff here at Tupper. Now, thanks to Rossi, her story can inspire others.

To the editor,
I enjoyed reading your article about Somaya. That young lady at Sir Charles Tupper secondary is remarkable and should inspire other immigrants and refugees to excel in their new country, Canada.
I am afraid she puts many Canada-born young people, who have had many more opportunities handed to them, to shame.
