This is going to be a short blog. After our classes at El Sol today, we taught English at FAP again and played sports with the kids afterward. I had really cute shoes on so I didn’t play sports and instead just chatted with some of the girls and practiced my Spanish. My favorite part about going to FAP is the conversations I get to have with the students. I’m incredibly impressed by their knowledge of English and their desire to practice. Often times I find them asking me questions in English and I would respond in Spanish. My favorite is Kimberly Vivas. She reminds me of myself. She is a beautiful, fiercely independent young woman and a brilliant conversationalist. How much trouble would I get in for smuggling a 17 year old Peruana home to Boston in my suitcase?
