Rewarding Moments: Anthony

In October 2016, I began a one-year position in a third-world country as a healthcare provider.  I lived with a very kind family during my time there, and the family had many children, including a pair of 9yo twin boys.  The boys always had their cat Jasmine with them.  Anyway, the boys knew minimal English, but enjoyed baseball.  So I would hit grounders to them (and Jasmine) all the time.  I found that their English was getting a bit better with our interactions too.  Anyway, during a Google search in November, I came across Swagbucks and joined.  I thought it would be fun for the kids and I to go through some of the Swagbucks seaches, complete Collector Bills and enjoy the variety of offerings.  If nothing else, it would help them with more exposure to English.  So during that year abroad, Swagbucks became a fun thing to do and learn English.  So during lots of Swagbucks times, the boys, Jasmine and I would have fun.  I would accrue the SBs to give to the host family — usually in a gift card.  The year went by quickly, and the twins’ English skills really improved.  Almost six years have passed since then, and I exchange texts and WhatsApp phone calls frequently.  Unfortunately, Jasmine went to the Rainbow Bridge two years ago.  All of my host family’s kids learned English, and the twins are in high school now.  They want to go to college in three years.   So I just wanted you to know that Swagbucks served a role in teaching the English language too.
