A little short.

I like it, but I would like it to tie in more with the other stories in the challenge. Make her more of a member of this community, or even use the other students to show what an outsider she is.

Yeah a bit short and really doesn’t describe the lesson, just the person. But a nice sentiment.

So she’s a foster child?

I agree with Ruby and PJ – would be alright as a stand alone piece, but I’d like to see Ingrid be more a part of the class.

I’m really left wondering with this one. Why is she with another family? Is she a new student? An exchange student with a past? It feels like one or two more sentences could take this from being merely intriguing to downright compelling.

(Also, I know it’s nitpicking, but “Decker’s” in the first paragraph doesn’t need an apostrophe. Apologies in advance!)

Wow. I too wonder if I’m ungrateful. It is so hard living in a place where yo don’t know the culture, your own family, the language. I kinda like how she doesn’t seem to be part of the community (yet). But this character has to go somewhere. Okay. At least once she learns english.

I like this quite a lot, and you certainly have established an interesting character. Like the others, I’ll be interested in seeing her interactions (or lack thereof) with the rest of the class.
