Anne Marie is from Congo and is a peer. She barely speaks English as it's her second language. Also Anne Marie is from the convent. While she is shy, she knows her stuff. When we have study groups, she knows the answers.
Well it was her birthday this week and it was the first one of the group. Gabriella brought some cake and we all went into the admissions office where I work and surprised her. Her face was priceless. She didn't know what to say. She didn't even know that it was tradition to blow out the candles :) It was very tender to see tears in her eyes knowing that she didn't have family to celebrate with. I just love the dynamics of this group and hope that we don't lose anyone else.
