An Incomplete Post

I do not remember when they began, but from a young age, I had to attend conferences twice a year at Shelton. They all went pretty much the same way. I would introduce my parents to my teachers, tell my teachers, "I have taken the proper precautions to be focused so what I need from you is to keep class interesting or I'll be bored." and then each teacher would say what I was doing well and not so well (a limited category I like to think). Two times every term, Taibah - the school where EAC students go - holds what they call Contact Days, which are similar to conferences. Yesterday, we went with Edith and Samali to Contact Day - an experience which brought back memories and put me in a different role.

At around 3, we were picked up by a car full of EAC children we had yet to meet. They had just come from registering to vote for the presidential elections next year. Again, I was so touched by how welcoming they were to me. I sat next to Brian who just happened to be wearing a Dallas Mavericks t-shirt. We had a wonderful conversation about his experience with the Spirit of Uganda tour. His favorite city on the tour was Dallas. Like me, he is not a huge fan of roller coasters so when he went to Six Flags, he did not go on all the rides. Also, he told me about going to the top of the Empire State building, which I will have to do next time I go to New York. It sounds amazing to see the city from such a high place.

It's 4:23 here and the USA plays in the World Cup at 5. This means I have to run out of the office; however, I told both of my parents in emails I was updating the blog today so here is a partial update. Next time, I have the internet I will finish. Go USA!!!
