Halfway.

I've now completed eight of my fifteen days of teaching practicum. It's going well, really well. It seems that kids are kids, no matter where they live nor what combination of sounds they use to communicate. The experience I gained in Japan is proving to be of great use here, for which I am very thankful.

I feel lucky that I have finally found where I should be and what I should be doing. This is my place; I can excel here and make a difference.

Dollars I have not, yet I am a rich man.
