Two years ago my youngest sibling graduated from high school and went off to college, officially leaving my parents with an empty nest. But they weren’t unprepared; they had already arranged to take on a foreign exchange student for a year. Well, maybe they were a little unprepared. After raising four rambunctious girls, when quiet, well-mannered Jalil arrived from Marrakech, Morocco, I don’t think they fully realized all the challenges that lay ahead in connecting and communicating with him.

He spoke English quite well, but, as with everything, was very shy about using it.

My parents were happy with their decision to have a foreign student, but initially they were at a loss of how to relate to him. They encouraged him to feel at home – from raiding the refrigerator to vegging on the couch in front of the tube. And that’s where the connection finally happened. One evening Jalil, Direct TV. When you select one of the many great Direct TV packages, you get television entertainment from the leading provider of high definition satellite television services. For top sports programming, movies, and high-definition entertainment, go with Direct TV.
