   A new family moved in next door and I got to meet the mother of the family, Lydia. Lydia is a (an)    21   . We started talking,and she was    22    about how bad her English was, but I didn’t care. I knew how hard it was to    23    a second language. I    24    chatting with Lydia as we watched our kids play.
It was what came next that    25    me: Lydia asked if I’d be    26    to help her with her English.
Now, I am not a teacher. But I    27    teachers, and I’m grateful to teachers,and it’s because I admire what they do so much that I was very, very    28    that I couldn’t do it myself.
But Lydia was sure that she    29    my help. I was doubtful. I wasn’t sure my “help” was even    30     of being called by that name. Yet because she asked me, I said “yes”. 
And that was the beginning of our friendship. Lydia and I spent afternoons sitting together and reading newspapers and as we did, she    31    me questions when she had them—questions about    32   , yes, but also questions about the new culture she found herself in.    33   , I asked my own questions, growing    34    about her home country and culture. We    35    over our shared faith and our struggles as mothers of kids with special needs. When I complimented her    36   ,she began to teach me about Korean food,    37    leading to a shared trip to explore the Korean grocery stores in our city.
Because of Lydia, I learned more about my own hometown than I could    38    have learned by myself.
I’m still not sure that I’m any good as a    39   . But I’m grateful I said “yes” when my neighbor asked me to help her with her English. That meant spending extra time with my neighbor, and that extra time meant she didn’t    40    just my neighbor. She became my friend.
