I am new here.             "Class, this is Maria."             I am new here.             "Boys and girls, please welcome Jin."             I am new here.             "We have a new student, everyone. Her name is Fatimah."             Back home I knew the language. My friends and I talked all day long. Our voices flowed like water and flew between us like birds.             Here there are new words.
