First, I need to mention Diego. I think he's the smartest 11-year-old I've ever encountered. He's bilingual (English and Spanish). When we sat in a circle and introduced ourselves, he said he liked chemistry and astronomy (which sharply contrasted with the other campers' vague, boring answers). I asked him where he wanted to go to college, and he replied "Yale or MIT."
Second, there's Carlos, an unruly child that speaks almost no English (Diego is his translator). I say almost no English because the other day, he came over to me, gave me a big grin, and said in my ear: "Steve, you're ugly."
That is the quote of the day, obviously.
haha good post.
