Her mind and heart are sponges, and her confidence is infectious. She hasn't been conditioned to the limited learning pattern which most of us are subjected to. While discovering English she naturally picked up all the other languages being spoken around her as well, and began filing them away in the appropriate areas of her mind. But the remarkable thing about Rebecca is, she's not remarkable. Just an ordinary child put in an extraordinary situation and allowed to develop at her own pace.
All children have that potential.
They are only restricted and stunted in their development by adults who hold them back, either with archaic teaching methods or by using esteem shattering techniques in the home and at school. That's a tough start to High School, and not what we imagine for our children. Children are wise, and clever. Allowing their imagination to soar at school instead of stunting and channelling it develops wisdom. They have already learned how to talk and live in a complex environment by using their natural learning ability.
