Empty Class and Aboukhodoud

: She was seven years old and had yet to learn English when, one morning, she arrived at school to find her room was empty – the class had already left on a field trip, according to Metro News. I froze, she said. Aboukhodoud immigrated to Canada in 1985 after war broke out in her home country of Lebanon. There was no one she could ask in Arabic, so she ran. To be scared and not be able to communicate that is the worst feeling, she said. She hid in the bathroom and in behind coats all day, desperately waiting for the bell to ring.
