After the dance class I was told that there was someone special waiting for me upstairs and I knew who it was :) It was time to meet Nicol and her mom! Then I saw I saw how much she had grown in two years! She was a very pretty and had beautiful sweet smile. She was wearing a beautiful dress with white sandals. I read that some sponsored children dress up in their very best clothes when they meet their sponsors, although they may not have many outfits. We gave each other a big hug and then we hopped in the van to travel to her home. During the ride I learned that Nicol was promoted to the sixth grade. She loves math and reading and she wants to be a teacher. Her sister is also in the sixth grade although she is 2 years younger than Nicol. I was able to coax Nicol into singing like I did with other sponsored children that I've visited in the  past :)
