"As I walked through the airport, I didn't know quite who to look for.  Unsure who was coming to pick me up, not confident that I would be able to recognize any of my host family when I saw them; finally, I recognized my host mom and sister, and raced to say hello.  The car ride home was filled with a struggle to communicate, an uncomfortable silence, and disappointment that I didn't speak German."
