Mamie, of course, is excelling in class at a rapid rate. She is reading, writing, speaking, hearing, "conversating" on a level that I presumed would take a year - I am so impressed.
She is so excited and I am so happy for her. She brought her books to the house and we have been reviewing her lessons daily. Her pride and self worth have increased and truly I am humbled by her remarkable sense of self value. She relates reading and writing to her value and worth and will not stop until she has accomplished her goals. She has been busy while I was away: opening a bank account, signing her own name - planning for the future in hopes of moving her family out of the city into a safer, calmer town.
In class they have started math lessons - LOL. ...oh goodness she is eager, intentional, and focused. So very proud of her. Mamie and her classmates are instructed to use pencils so they can correct their errors - Mamie has a dozen pencils we gave her all with "used-up" erasers. LOL So I went to the expat market and bought her some chunky erasers...she was pleased as punch!
I was looking through Mamie's workbooks and found the above, "capable," written in a blank area. It brought me to tears - because it was truth, written in Mamie's handwriting - Capable indeed.
