One of the Oregon group students went back to Portland last Sunday (I am out of the communication loop). Very sad. From the beginning she was facing a challenging situation and had no illusions about it. Bringing her four(?) year old son over, it was obviously going to be a challenge. I don't know the details and don't care to speculate, but it comes down to language barrier and proper care for her son. What a sweet kid too, very gentle. I'll remember her for her positive and ambitious attitude, and her dedication to her son.

God, it sounds like I'm writing an obituary. It's disappointing time though. I empathize with her situation, it really hurts when a goal doesn't work out, and you have to renegotiate new ones.It's hard, lost pride stings. You have to stay positive, and keep looking ahead. Be resilient. It ain't easy.
