One student involved is hurt and has stitches.

Another student was driving under the influence... this happened before, now he's due to be deported.

The mood becomes more somber now.

We also learn that the hurt student has left his passport in the impounded car, which is in Clayton, Ga. He can't retrieve it without $175

Thankfully, the translator, Josie, works for the sheriff's department in Macon County.

She will try and influence the other sheriff's office to let the student retrieve his passport.

She's also been called in at night in cases where her students are hurt or have been arrested.

Ha - that's my best. "My name is Heath and I am from Cullowhee, N.C. I am studying community college education."

Donnie and I express our gratefulness to have been a part of this class.

It's been fun to actively participate in such an interesting adult learning environment.
