"Are you from Africa?"

The kids in my class have decided that I'm staying and are now very curious about me! One little girl misunderstood that I'm from America and asked if I had come from Africa. One boy told me I was a princess; another told me I should learn Spanish so that I can talk to him instead of him having to learn English to talk to me! My parents gave me a name that does not translate to Spanish very well; I'm "Miss Ereen."
