To the 5th-grade students at P.S. 205 Clarion School in Brooklyn, NY:
Thank you for reading about my journey and engaging with me with your wonderful questions! I’ve really enjoyed getting to share some of my experiences in Malaysia with you. I hope that you’ve learned something new and that you continue to foster your curiosity about other cultures. In my being here, I’ve learned that it’s so important to listen to perspectives different from your own — that’s where the real learning about the world happens. Continue to stay open-minded, accepting, respectful and kind to every single person around you. The more that we all work to do this together, the more understanding we will gain as humans overall. Thank you again for following along!!! So happy we got to connect :)
Your friend in Malaysia,
Karis
