New Friends, New Faces...

Well this week I started my senior year of high school!! I thought this day would NEVER come!! I started the day Monday walking into the door with an attitude of " I don't like school and I just can't wait for this year to be over with!" But as the week went on I began to make new friends, and meet knew people! My classes are pretty easy as well which helps! One of the girls I have become pretty good friends with is Anna Eliasson. Anna is a foreign exchange student from Sweden! I have spent much time talking with her and learning about her country! I told her the first day of school that she was living my dream and she laughed! Last night Anna, Minta, Lori, and I along with Minta's family went to eat at Texas Roadhouse for Minta's 18th birthday... Then we took Anna to Orange Leaf and to see The Help. I think at first Anna was a bit overwhelmed, but I think she had a good time overall! I knew that sometimes exchange students come to our school, but it really isn't a common thing. The fact that Anna is here just makes my heart SO happy. The new friendship and chances to show someone how wonderful The States are is so exciting to me. On Wednesday my Economics teacher was in the office and I was making copies (I am the office aid)... She came up to me and said " Thank you so much for befriending Anna. I was worried the first day that maybe she wouldn't make many good friends, but I am happy and I trust that you will show her the best of America!" I have always heard people say "Even when you think no one is watching, someone will always be looking." And now I find this statement true. I had no idea that anyone had even seen us together but I guess I was wrong. I can't wait to go on many more adventures this year with Anna! I am eager to continue learning about her country as well! I also ask that The Father would make great conversation between the two of us! I will keep ya'll posted!
