The words "military" and "Indiana" scared me at first. I could not imagine myself in a state that felt foreign when my parents told me they were sending me, a lifelong New Yorker, to a military academy in Culver, Indiana.
Eventually, the sweet words of a familiar, but foreign language, "Oofah! Cocoa Bella! Mangia!" would provide the foundation that helped turn Culver into a home.
