The Second Meeting

This time when I saw Norma, we greeted each other with a friendly hello and warm hug. She asked me how my fall break was and I briefly spoke about my road trip to Austin. With eyes wide open she listened carefully to all I had to say and after I filled her in on my eventful trip we began working. I learned from the last meeting that pictures really helped her most, so I came prepared with four pages of illustrations. I went along pointing at each image with my index finger, waiting for her to identify it in English. After she did I would right the word down and use it in a sentence. Norma learns quickly. I feel that she has already improved and we have only had one meeting! Maybe it’s just me being excited though; I am really rooting for her. After we finished our lesson, she told me a little about her eldest daughter and how she loves ballet. Norma really gets a kick out of the fact that I am a dance major; it’s really funny. She told me that she really wants to put her eldest into ballet classes and I highly encouraged this. I even told her to put her youngest in as well. She agrees.
