Schools Starts

The first day was interesting. No one showed up! We had eight children come to school today. Vickie said it takes the Haitian people a little while to get back into the swing of things after summer ends. They are so different then American's. Time is not important at all here. In America, if you are 5 minutes late for something people notice. In Haiti, I can be 30 minutes late for church; walk in and realize they haven't even started yet! I'm getting very used to it though. I am going to have super natural patients when I come back home to visit. No one can disrupt my day now. I'm learning to just go with the flow. I was a really easy going person before I came here, but now I'm even better. I like it that way. People here don't get bent out of shape about the small things. Sure sometimes it can be frustrating that no one is on time for class, but these people aren't as stressed out as Americans are. I have a lot to learn from them.......
