To: Hannah From: Dixie

As I think about Hannah I think witty, funny and musical. Hannah is very talented musically so I decided to make people feel more welcomed and included by music. So when I started this year I met two exchange students one from Brazil named Maria and one from Switzerland named Michelle. Maria was a very cute shy girl who a lot of people had difficulty understanding her with her strong accent. Michelle didn't have a good host family that helped her progress in her time in America and also had very hard time in school translating everything and had many tears of missing her family and friends in Europe. I loved seeing them each day and helping them improve there English. so every day id listen to music with her and sing with both of them at school the popular American music. I also invited them both to every stake dance there was within this school year. the music I shared with them allowed them to see a culture difference and learn slang American terms to improve there modern English. it was also great seeing there lives steadily improve and developing world wide friendships. It was awesome thinking of Hannah while doing this and the untold effect music can have on people.
