And I was like, man, this is really serious.
They really think they're gonna die.
So I go to my room the same way and I'm crying and I got on my knees and I started to pray.
I was like, God, please save my family and make sure we get back together.
Make sure we're reunited.
Don't kill my parents in this.
About a week later, we got a call that my mom was able to get on the very last flight out of Liberia with basically the clothes on her back.
And a week later, my dad was able to escape to a neighboring country, Guinea, to a refugee camp there that a lot of my family members had started to gather.
It was in that refugee camp that a newspaper article came out that the rebel leader, Charles Taylor, wanted my father to be captured by anyone, and if they did, to bring him directly to him, because he wanted to be the one to personally kill my father.
He was able to take that newspaper article and take it to the U.S.
Embassy, and with that, he was able to get political asylum.
So soon enough, we were all reunited back in Canada, but it wasn't joy and it wasn't happiness, because every day, the phone kept ringing.
Somebody was getting murdered, somebody was missing, there was always doom.
But it was during this time that I really dug into my artwork.
My sketchbook was like my savior.
Like I would just sketch and draw all day and just try to escape all the negativity and that was like my peace.
And then one day, Joy called.
I answered the phone and it was that school that I secretly applied to.
They decided to not send me a letter but call me directly home and tell me I got in.
Yeah.
