Tonight’s classes really went very well and it just occurred to me that patience is a virtue which I have been cultivating since I came here. After I reviewed with Dora who is my early learner student, her mom was talking to me in Chinese and I understood what she said but I can’t answer in Chinese so I called my class monitor to translate for me. She thanked me and said that she has never seen such a patient teacher but me.

I’d surely miss them on weekends. Smiles. While I was typing this piece, I am partly very happy and sad and raring to go home for I really miss my family and friends at the homefront. On the other hand, I am so sure to miss my little kids when I’ll leave soon. Huhmmmmm…..
