2.)    Sofia, who corrected an error on our bill

3.)    Frank and Carlos, who hailed cabs for Amelia every morning and helped her with her heavy bookbags every night

4.)    Kelly at the Bryant Park post office, who helped me ship over 120 books back home

5.)    Margaret, who told me about the holiday sale and gave me the discounts early

6.)    Nancy, who said I was “likable”

7.)    The kind cab driver who picked up Amelia at midnight in the Bowery and checked to make sure she was ok

8.)    Jaime, who calmly and patiently endured holiday traffic to take us to the airport

9.)    Amelia, who soared above her 4’10” frame and took on New York City!
