"It's getting easier!"

Fran studies many hours every day and recently she has said several times "It's getting easier!" in respect to math.  Thanks to the time she spent with Eugenio, who gave her an ordered priority list of how to approach the subject.  It is paying off!

She has three classes now: math, chemistry, and English.  These are all preparatory classes for the exams in April to get into the university.  She says that chemistry is easy compared to math!  That amazed me because my memory of the beleaguered chemistry students at UC Santa Cruz, hunching over their chemistry tables in study hall, is still vivid.

She is beginning to say short sentences in English just recently, so she will be accelerating rapidly from here.

There is still nothing more fulfilling to me right now than to watch Fran take full advantage of every opportunity that is offered her, and to see her world change and grow.

Here is a photo of Fran studying in a coffee shop a week or so ago when our internet went out.
