- I took a deep breath and suddenly, I remembered that I actually teach others how to handle situations like this! I knew how to ask for the supports and scaffolds I needed to make this issue comprehensible. I asked the receptionist for a piece of paper. I requested that she write down the problem in simple sentences and write out the total amount for the taxi. Since I could read at a higher level than I could comprehend rapid spoken Dominican Spanish, I could finally understand the situation: my original hotel had given away my reservation and called ahead to this hotel for another room for me. After I paid the driver, I thanked the receptionist, followed the bell hop to my room, and collapsed on the bed.
