Sisters from Kerala, India

I interviewed a nun. Er, a Sister, actually. Until recently, I didn't know the difference between a Sister and a nun. Now I know that a nun is cloistered and doesn't go out in public while a Sister is out and about in the community.

The woman I met is a teacher at a local Catholic school. She is originally from Kerala, India, but has been living in a Minneapolis suburb for the past 37 years.

She had such an aura about her and when I found out that one of her greatest joys is teaching geography, well, I just wanted to plop myself down in her classroom for a bit and soak up whatever knowledge about the world she had to share.
