House Mother to Chinese Girls

Over the weekend, I was given a wonderful opportunity to be a "house mother" to six Chinese high school girls. My immediate thought was, "Wow, this would be so much fun and nearly a dream come true." What I mean by that is, I've always wanted to host a foreign exchange student and this sounded similar. I was briefly told that you would go live in a house that is by the school with them. Not knowing exactly what it consisted of, I gave my number out to be contacted for further information about it. I had a lot of questions and thoughts running through my head about this like, "What do I have to do for them? Will I have to cook for all six girls? Do I have to constantly be there?" etc, etc.
