From way over in China!
Yall 'Mercan's are probably just starting your Christmas. Lucky for me I am from the future. . . In China ^_^;;.
It was a very rewarding christmas experience. I went to school and we had a small Christmas party
Some students gave me gifts, and I got to give them little notes of appreciation.
What touched me the most was this one middle school student. She doesn't even go to my class. She is in a different grade than I teach, but she still takes time to come up to me and talk to me in her fairly decent English. She is the sweetest girl.
When I told her that I only have 3 more days until I go back to America she said she would miss me, and then proceeded to quietly sob. I was very astonished because we had only known each other for 4 months, we had a slight language/cultural barrier, and I she wasn't even one of my students! I gave her a hug and told her that everything would be ok and that we would stay in touch. This seemed to comfort her.
This Christmas I hope everyone remembers to give love to all of those who may need it. Anyone can give love to those in need. If a little middle school girl who speaks a small bit of English can do it, than so can we all.
Have a very Merry Christmas everyone ^_^
