In the Spotlight: JW!

A new month, a new Spotlight! I usually try to post these later in the day, but I'll be gone this evening, and I'm not exactly sure what time I'll get back - and I didn't want to miss out on getting this posted!

This week's Spotlight features Jacob. When he first joined as a boy, he was just beginning to learn how to write and speak English, and now as a young man, he's a master at it!

Carol i had forgotten about that post

Great answers Jacob. It is fun getting to know everyone in these threads.

WOW, this is a really nice idea, this getting to know you thread! I really liked it! And the Ingalls Street sign was AWESOME!!!

glad to know you better

I've done a little exploring around Walnut Grove on Google Earth Street View. Very fascinating stuff!

I'm definitely not jealous that you went to Plum Creek.

Nice yo meet you better JW great pictures I love it.

Just when I thought I knew everything about Jacob! This is a surprise to hear you want to one day open your own restaurant! Good for you Jacob....so many of us have seen your growth and maturity through the years (as well as your amazing growth in your knowledge of the English language ), and I think I speak for all of us that we believe you can truly do anything you put your mind to. You are such a special part of this board, don't ever forget that.

So nice to get to know you even better!


Oh, and the pics are awesome!!

Jacob, I remember when you posted the post that Carol shared again. I always thought it fascinating that you spoke German living in Mexico and then moved to Canada. I think it is great that you want to open a restaurant. Keep us updated on how things are going with that.

Great to get to know some more about you.

So, what kind of restaurant are you interested in opening?

No Rhonda i did't dip my Toes in Plum Creek it Crossed my mind but my family Already thought i was going crazy in walnut grove so i decided not to Take my Shoes off yet lol

Thank you Amy

Miss Oleson i have been thinking about a Mexican Restaurant but i am not sure yet

Hey, Jacob! What an interesting person you are...and I see you are really "in love" with LHOTP!

Do you know that I had had the same experience than you with the movie in which Albert dies? I couldn't watch it more than twice. Thisnpeisode is too hard for me to swallow...I don't have any brother who died from Leukemia, but I know a few persons who I loved a great deal who died from cancer and this episode awakes too much bad souvenirs to me...

Great photos! I wish I culd take some of these one in my life!

Vanesa.

Great to get to know you a little more, Jacob!!!!

Thanks Vanesa and Ruth
