[hometext] => Well, I'm very proud of my children (as all of us are). When my daughter said to me she'd like to intern in Ghana this summer- I was a wreck. The no sleep food syndrome hit because of fear........a fear that was unfounded........a fear given me by people who never traveled there. So, I felt I had to write on behalf of the sweet Ghanian people whose pictures I'm looking forward to seeing, and language I'm looking forward to learing. My Jill is one cool girl. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [bodytext] => my daughter Jill's in Ghana before she left I cried with fear with fear that was instilled from those who never travelled there i told her to be careful go darker on the hair be careful of the food she eats while she is staying there Nail color was removed makeup was left home all this to convey a message "leave me alone" she's interning for the summer and happy she is now experiencing a life I never had and working very hard ghanians are nice people friendly and polite they treat my daughter with respect and appreciate her choice to offer human kindness working toward their better life I'm proud of Jill's achievements I live through her success at 25 she's a reflection of hard work mirrored by success working for the people does not pay well at all but this is the path she's taking as a future Lawyer she'll excell she has the strength and the might to create and spread ideals so people can live and work in an informed local and global world [comments] => 2 [counter] => 255 [topic] => 23 [informant] => starshine [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => FamilyPoems )
