In those days, when you passed certain tests, you were allowed to enter first grade very early. I graduated from grade school at eleven years old. Then I was on a Catholic high school, graduating at the age of sixteen years. I skipped a grade in grade school. My mother belonged to a Catholic organization, and our family took in foreign students to live with us. Thus, I am very eager to learn foreign cultures. When my husband had the chance to live and work in Saudi Arabia, we jumped at it.
