Mis Profesores

One of the hard things to do is to try to balance my time between Spanish homework, business homework, developing community contacts, and spending time practicing my Spanish with the family. So I found the best way two kill two birds with one stone is to sit down at the kitchen table and to do my Spanish homework with the kids. They love to help and definately supply the energy to keep me going, and some other volunteers have grown envious of the home environment I have and have requested for me to let them know when I'm doing my Spanish homework so they can be assisted by mis profesores also.
This photo was taken on my first day. I had been sitting at the table for hours getting to know my family and trying to decipher what 3 voices at a time were saying to me. One of the kids had rushed in and let me know that mis amigos were outside. I was definately surprised at how elated I felt to see them when I stepped outside, I definately wanted to share with somebody what it was like to be culturally, and linguistically bombarded for hours straight.
