Today I met a new friend to say the least, a profound and intelligent woman with the most funniest sense of humor. She is a little older than myself and much wiser of coarse. Originally from the Dominican and is a latina as she calls herself, she has been in America for 9 years and speaks good english, at least I think so. I was introduced through a mutual friend as someone to help her with her english while achieving her second Master's Degree. Little did I know that she would teach and give me some of the best knowledge of and stranger I have ever met. I had no idea that four hours and helping her with her english could be so much fun, but it was and I had the best time. We talked about life, love, relationships, we teared up a little, laughed a lot, and it was some of the best times with a complete stranger that I have ever spent. I feel as if I have known her my whole life and that I am supposed to know her, for what reason I'm not sure but as time moves us forward I am sure the reason will become evident. I was absolutely scared to death to help someone with whom I had never met before with something so important, but as soon as I seen her I felt completely calm and at peace. I truly am so thankful to have this opportunity to help someone with such a small but wonderful learning experience, but I am so sure I will learn just as much as she will during this journey. I am glad I have this opportunity to do something good but I feel so much more lucky to be able to know such a wonderful person. I am utterly humble and blessed because of this experience.
SN:: I have never been so reassured that something I was doing could make a difference until today...She asked to read my blog. #PROUDMOMENT
