Rather than lock myself in my loneliness, I have tried each
Christmas to learn a little more about the culture of the country
and know more about my American friends.
A tie-clasp I still wear reminds me repeatedly of the Christmas
of 1989, which was quite memorable for me.
Maria, a Mexican-American student, who worked as a
temporary secretary in the department when others left for their
holidays, must have seen me as I left the mailbox with
disappointment showing on my face.
I felt a little uncomfortable, knowing that I was occupying her
place, but this gesture conveyed told me the sincere hospitality
with which I was treated by Maria’s whole family.
Looking at the tie-clasp, I knew I would always regard it as a
memento of an unforgettable evening of good friendship during
a hard and lonely period of my life.
