I've never..." , he paused.  Pressing his lips together slightly in irritation as he realized he had been ready to reveal to them that he had never been on a plane like that before...or ever on a trip like this.  His smile returned quickly as he continued.  "It was my first international flight and I thought the whole thing went great."  He continued eye contact with Dr Broussard as he spoke.  "I wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking a chance on me and giving me this opportunity.  I will try to not give you a reason to regret it."<br/><br/>He paused and looked behind him, only to then look back at him and speak in a quieter tone.<br/><br/>"I was also looking for some guidance around a job here that I can do on the campus or somewhere nearby?  I need to be able to earn about a hundred and fifty dollars a week to send home.  You don't have to tell me right now of course but if you think of an opportunity, I'm not afraid to work."
