Thomas Hallie's Timeline

Thomas is from Liberia.  You can see that the last frame in his timeline is recounting starting to learn about computers.  He learned how to type in this class.  He and his brother James both would like to be doctors for careers.  I hope they achieve their goals.  Both of them are extremely polite, pleasant, intelligent, and full of energy.  Great students!  

Muthana's Timeline

Muthana is from Iraq.  He's only been here for about three weeks, but he's making very good progress with his English.  Muthana is very polite and has a very good attitude in class.  I enjoy having him in the class. 

Cecilia Hallie's Timeline

I think these pictures are just WONDERFUL! If your computer will let you, try to click on the picture to make it big. Cecilia is from Liberia. She is Jomason's wife and James' and Tomas' sister. She tells some really interesting stories sometimes about their African culture. One thing is that they have a custom where kids will cross some sticks to freeze time and, for example, prevent their parents from returning on time if they would like to carry out some minor mischief. Once in awhile if I come back late from break time, I ask her if she crossed some pencils to make me come back late.
