kani,

I think you had very enlightened parents, and have benefitted greatly from that! Your parents were very foresightful. I'm not excusing the lack of concern or attention to being able to speak/write/read the common language...

I find the literature very enlightening about things, and have appreciated that. Probably the most troublesome part of our adaptation to the islands was working in a state hospital IT department, and having to figure out "tech pidgin"!!

I love being here, and have great appreciation of the culture, but also know that lots of kids growing up here have added difficulty with communication when the broader world comes into their lives. We have to have some compassion for that, but also not expect failure or less than good effort.

Peace, and education...

Jane
