… sometimes you have to fall out of favor with what you love to really appreciate it.” Sports always has been a huge part of Croft’s life, and as he grew up, he found a way to merge it with another passion: writing. At Inglemoor High School in Kenmore, Wash., Croft wrote about sports, and at PLU he was a Journalism major who wrote and edited for The Mast. After graduation, though, newspaper jobs were few and far between—and Croft missed soccer. “I connected with an old club coach, who got me onto a couple

comparison, they’re really not.” Jamila Haji, 13, has been in the United States for two years, and is still working on her reading and writing skills.

When asked what she wants to be when she grows up, Haji rattled off a “top four” list of career options that doesn’t sound much different from the aspirations of a native-born teenager: doctor, lawyer, singer, teacher.
