I housed a foreign student and drove her to work, a lab job. She was happy to have a free place to stay and a ride in the morning. I was happy to spend time with someone so smart and energetic and open to learning new things. It was a delight to meet her a the end of the day and hear what she had seen and done and learned. We were from very different backgrounds and that made it more interesting. Her reactions surprised me. I also got a glimpse into her life as a young woman and heard about family, boys, clothes, all the other things on her mind.
