She said that the youngest was more outgoing, so he learnt fast and got many friends right away. However, the eldest son was shy and introverted like me...and since he was at the awkward age of 13 (not a child anymore, not yet an adult), it was tough on him to socialize and stuff. That's why he learnt the language pretty slowly, as well.<BR/><BR/>But I can't imagine being shy and introverted and then sent away someplace where you don't know the language at all. AND you have to study at a school right away. Gosh! That must've been VERY tough, esp. when you're only 14!!!<BR/><BR/>Tsk tsk tsk...Amelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792921371964029469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-44144816941882805652008-01-09T06:47:00.000-08:002008-01-09T06:47:00.000-08:00I can't imagine living in a different town, let al...I can't imagine living in a different town, let alone a different country! <BR/>I do admire some people.The World According To Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877147634501360129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-61488636060524093752008-01-09T04:26:00.000-08:002008-01-09T04:26:00.000-08:00very good.parenting these days has changed drastic...very good.<BR/>parenting these days has changed drastically. hasn't it?it was very very different 20 and 30 years ago.<BR/>but then again... so was the world we lived in.<BR/><BR/>have a good... night.SOULhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096155256030485739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-89323293043201746202008-01-08T19:43:00.000-08:002008-01-08T19:43:00.000-08:00hmmm that's tough...it's hard to know when to step...hmmm that's tough...it's hard to know when to step in or when to let go... we're all still learning parents..just "winging it"..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-57083002718946195252008-01-08T18:53:00.000-08:002008-01-08T18:53:00.000-08:00OH ME?
