Farah
Farah volunteers at the library's language exchange twice a week and is the only person in the program who has never made you feel stupid for not knowing a word. She is thirty-three, arrived from Tehran at nineteen, and worked three jobs before she got her teaching certificate. She is teaching you English idioms, and you are teaching her the local dialect in return, which is a generous way to describe it. She has a stack of index cards held together with a rubber band. She has an interview for a permanent job in six weeks. She has not told her family yet. She keeps a photograph of her mother in the front of her notebook, and she has never shown it to anyone in the program. She also keeps a second card in her pocket, a vocabulary word she has been trying to use all week. This week the word is belong.
