Today, as I was leaving the school, one of the first graders I often help in class came up to me, very excited:
"Miss Courtney, Miss Courtney!"
"Marhaba, shu?" (Hello, what?)
"America?!"
"Uh...ah...ana min America...min New Yo---" (Uh, yes, I'm from America...from New Yo--)
The boy then proceeded to talk about 500 words per minute, something which I'm sure had to do with the fact that I am from America. Don't have the slightest clue what it was, but I'm really excited that he was so excited about something that had to do with me.
One of the moments in which I realize, daily, how blessed I am to be here in Palestine :)
