Kee Lah Soe was an orphan in Southeast Asia four years ago when opportunity knocked on the door of her bamboo hut. Authorities offered to relocate her and family members from a refugee camp in Thailand to Roanoke. That moment opened many doors, including to Patrick Henry High School, from which she will graduate Friday at age 22. “Can’t wait,” Kee Lah said. She is one of an estimated 775 Roanoke seniors who will cross the commencement stage at the Berglund Center. In the four years that have passed since her arrival, Kee Lah learned English, met graduation requirements and took up singing with help from a team of teachers, all while taking care of a brother with whom she lives and who has special needs. A Roanoke human services agency guided her through resettlement, an apartment complex friendly to refugees and immigrants rented her an apartment and church welcomed her for worship and Bible study. An anonymous donor paid a large share of her bills.
