"When we go back to Houston, I'll know lots of people so I'll only have to be the new kid once."
"The thing about Doha is the weather is pretty much always the same. In Houston you can go to school in shorts in the morning and be freezing in the afternoon."
"Everything in Doha looks the same. How do you know where you are going?
"It's just so sandy here. Look at all those big areas of sand."
"In Houston I was excited about 5th grade appreciation because I was going to go to a different school for 6th grade. In Doha, it's the same school. Just a different building."
"There are a lot of people here from Houston."
"I wish they had school districts here so the school wouldn't be so far away from where we live."
"I don't understand why our school gives you 3's and 4's on our report card. I like A's and B's."
"If you get a 'U' on your report card in Houston that's bad, but here it's good."
"No way are we not moving back to Houston. WE ARE GOING."
Amen, baby. Amen

Maybe she can write a book one day about her experience living there.
Reading that made my heart hurt just a bit. I really can't wait to meet y'all.
Hey, I think I've heard those exact words spoken by my 11 year old. I'm so glad they have each other to share in their frustrations.
