Student from Ghana in Kennewick
KENNEWICK, Wash— Sandy Raimes’ social studies class is full of students eager to graduate and move on. But for one student, Asana Rashad, it took a lot of work just to get here.
“I’m from a very small village in the northern part of Ghana, called Salaga,” she says.
Asana has been a student at Kennewick High for almost a year. She’s not just learning in the classroom, but also in everyday life.
“It’s like giving birth to a new baby to come to America,” she explains. “Everything was different for me, from the food, everything. I never saw a vacuum cleaner, a lot of things I didn’t know.”
But the one thing she’s known for years is her calling in the medical field; a goal she set for herself as a child when her uncle got sick and didn’t see a doctor.
