Diabetes Diagnosis Leads to Need to Learn French

Two and a half months ago, I found out that I have diabetes. I have no family member with diabetes. I have no friends with diabetes. I felt very lost and very alone. One day I was online and I stumbled upon an online community built for diabetics. It was so unbelievable to me—right at my fingertips, I had a group of people who understood what I was going through. One of the first people who befriended me happened to be a woman named Belina. She was able to answer some of my “burning” questions about diabetes. But not long into our conversation, I discovered that English is not her native language. She was trying to translate all her information from French.

So today, I signed up for my first French class at our local community college. I’m so excited to learn at least the basics so that Belina and I can converse in either English or French.
