Alas, summer came to an end, and Green Fields Country Day School started classes toward the end of August. I was excited, but apprehensive to begin school. Green Fields had about two hundred students and I would be enrolled in the twelfth grade. It was one thing to speak English well enough to communicate, it was something else altogether to think about taking all of my courses in the language and having to both speak and write in it.

School started out difficultly. I made friends easily enough, and the school’s small size was a help, but classwork was hard. Some of the processes were so different from what I had learned in Russia—problem-solving in math, for instance—that I found myself having to unlearn some things in order to re-learn them. It was frustrating. The language barrier proved to be bigger than I thought, too. While I could speak English fairly well by then, composition was all new to me. This grammar and punctuation stuff was like a whole new foreign language to me! I barely made C’s that first trimester. The Hugheses were kind enough to hire a tutor, and by my second trimester my grades had improved, to mostly B-pluses.
