I started my Finnish language classes today! It's absolutely unique language.
Accidentally (or not) I found that today is the International Literacy Day, established by United Nations to encourage universal literacy. This day has been observed since 1966 by all countries and organizations that are part of the UN system. International Reading Association and Japanese publisher Shoichi Noma (Noma Prize) award prizes to litetacy programs and organizations that have made a significant difference. Great! In other words, read people, read! Please encourage your children to read every day. It is rewarding!
Moreover, what I learned today is:
to make myself available to someone in need of a friend. I'll try to keep it in my mind.
Also, not to turn anyone away even if I'm busy, not in a mood, or under weather.
Chances are the person, who comes to you needs the advice and support that only you can offer. Listening and watching don't take that much energy, and that may be all that's required.
I had some quite tough moments living in US and my trust in good-willing people was about to fail little by little. Then I came back to my family in Bulgaria and applied for EVS in Finland to change my attitude. Here I am now face to face with perfectly new horizon.
