On Friday night after work, I got a message from Mireya saying that she wouldn't be able to continue our meetings because her kids had started soccer and it was too hard for her to find a babysitter.

My most recent meeting with Mireya went really well. We started off with some confusion, because we had agreed to meet in front of the library at 9 am on Saturday. After she didn't show up for 15 minutes, I called her and we worked it out that she was at the bookstore, not the library. We walked over to the library together and she told me about her crazy morning, trying to find a babysitter for her 3-year-old son. I began asking her about her kids and family. At the library, I showed her how to log on to the TCU computers. She didn't know her username and password and the help center didn't open until noon. We found her username by searching it at my.tcu.edu but she didn't know the answers to her security questions so we were unable to get her password. Afterwards, she asked if there were any websites that could help her youngest son start learning before he went to school in a year. We found a lot of good websites that had free interactive learning games and print-outs. She then asked me about my computer experience. She wanted to know how long I'd been around computers, when I first started using a computer, and how I learned to type. After we talked, I offered to show her how to type. We searched and found online games and tutorials that helped with typing. So far, I've really enjoyed getting to know Mireya. She's a really smart person and it's really great to see her progress. I'm really excited about our next meeting! We're going to meet at noon, instead of 9am and ask the help center about her password so she can log in.
