After UNICEF gets a hold on Beah, he is then sent to a rehabilitation center so he can work on getting better and improving himself so he can go back into society unviolently. In the rehabilitation center, they let Beah listen to music, and dance. Beah was still an angy person though. He had just fought a hard war. He had run. He had killed. After he got to the center, he took a liking to one of the female nurses. She changed his bandages for him and helped him with some other medical needs as well. During his time in the center he had a hard time opening up to people. He would have severe flash backs to the war which would only reverse his progress. Eventually what would help Beah would be to dance to his hip hop music. This brought on childhood memoris that made him forget about what happened in the war and really focus on what happened when he was younger. After getting out of Rehab, Beah is headed of to NY. He was enthused to go, suitcase in hand, not knowing anyone on the other side.
Beah knew he would have more opportunities in the United States. There wasn't as much violence, there were more jobs, and there was more to do overall. Beah was getting ready to explore a new world that would be entirely different than the one that was infront of him currently. He was ready to move on from one horrible part of his life and onto one new chapter
yours truly,
Amy
