Teacher's Day

Teacher's Day was last week in Korea. Now...in no way do I consider myself a teacher. Maybe a "educational enlightener" or "constructive babysitter" or better yet "a has-been child so I know exactly what is running through your little brain".

Well, Teacher's Day is a day to thank your teachers and acknowledge their presence beyond the ringing bell. Children often give small gifts to say thank you. I received some candies, tea, and a little music box that plays a Korean folk song. It was really sweet.

My favorite gift was a note from one of my favorite students, Dorothy. She doesn't take crap from ANYONE, not even the smelly boys. I have taught her for close to a year now and it's amazing to have seen her grow from a below average scorer to the top of her class. She could own this country. I'm sure of it.

Her note:

If you don't have superman eyesight, let me help...

To Cassie,

Cassie, I'm Dorothy. First, Thanks to teach me every level. I'll prepare some present for you. It's not very enormous, but this is my one's true heart. Good bye.

I <3 you x 10


Ok seriously? I die. I'm not sure if it's the part where she tells me her name like I don't know her or the part where she says good-bye...where is she going? She is too cute for words. I can remember the special things my teachers said to me and I never thought that students could do the same.

Feelin' really lucky :)
