 I hosted young people from other parts of the world and I really enjoy learning about other cultures and interacting with people that are new to this country and helping them find their way around and learning about where they come from. When I first came here, I think my first student was a young Cambodian woman and this was I believe in the late 80s maybe and this was when there was a large group of Cambodians that had been being settled in the area and actually I was in a group that had sponsored a family. So it was quite poignant to meet this young woman who had made the journey and was really struggling to do the most basic things and of course having some language skills is the most important thing for anyone to be able to start to feel at home and any independence so it really felt like I was doing something very important. I would just encourage anybody who even could imagine doing this to give it a try. I think it's so uplifting, it's not a lot of time. You can establish the routine with your student that you want and it's very flexible. You can figure out how to make it work with your particular student and it really opens up your life to wonderful things so I would encourage anybody who's even thinking about doing it to give it a try.
