CASA

 You might know a few words in Spanish or any other language?  I'm one of those who does.  I can speak or read no other language but English but it is fun to know a few words of various languages.  

Casa is a spanish word that means "house or home".  "Me casa, you casa." is a mixed language version of a phrase often heard.  I have a friend whose auto license plate is "I AM CASA".  After knowing him quite a while, I asked what that was all about.  He is home?  

No, that wasn't it.  CASA in our language is a legal term -  standing for "Court Appointed Special Advocate" which is what this guy is.  

You see, when a child is involved in a custody dispute between parents or guardians, the court system can appoint a person to represent the children. Children can be swayed by a parent to make a bad choice for themselves.  Judges rely on this CASA to actually help choose what is best for the child.  It's a great and valuable system.  You might want to apply for a post like that.  I'm sure we could use more of them.
