Thoughtful Jacira

Ever since I first met Jacira I could tell that she was very interested in me and not just checking off another task she had to do for school off her list. Every time we meet she asks about things that we talked about the previous time and follows up on those things. I am not the type of person to confide in people that I do not really know, but Jacira is one of those people who you can feel comfortable with. I think that we both are honest with each other about our thoughts and feelings about our lives.

I think that she does a better job than I do when it comes to remembering little things about each other sometimes though. For example, when I was in New York for my internship interviews she text messaged me one day asking how my week was going and such. Totally caught me off guard, but it made me feel good and like someone was thinking about me. She was genuinely curious how my interviews were going. She also text messaged me on my birthday the other day and said a very heartfelt birthday wish. It was more than just "Happy Birthday, Hannah!" which is the norm when it comes to birthday text messages from people that are not those that you really know. Her birthday wish was sweet and thoughtful and genuine. That text message caught me off guard too! She continues to surprise me for a young woman who is in a different country learning a different language. I feel like if I was in that situation I might not feel like I could show my personality and be thoughtful to someone I did not know very well. But I can see how I might behave as Jacira has. I would be thankful to have a person that was close to my age and had similar likes that I could develop a relationship with.

Thank you, Jacira.
