Last Sunday one of my best students was in a Daegu speech contest. I had been working with her everyday during lunch for a few weeks and I was really proud of how hard she worked. If all my students were as dedicated and polite as her my job would be very very easy.
When the competition was all said and done, my student took home 4th prize. Although she was happy, she was a little frustrated because she didn't think the top 3 speeches were any better than hers. She thought the grading was arbitrary. I was very proud of her anyway and on Monday she brought me a bag of goodies accompanied by this note.
Again, if all my students were this awesome, I wouldn't be able to leave Korea!
