Hey all, Here are some pictures of me and the students on my last day of school. I miss them a lot now that I’ve gotten some space from everything Korea. These kids were one of the biggest highlights of my experience.
These girls with the phone are 2 of 3 triplets at the school. and very sweet
This is Grace… probably my biggest fan. (10 years old)
Rachael, above with the pink headband, started bawling as I was saying goodbye to her class.. I almost lost it.
Oh, sweet Chaos. This class is made up of 9-10 year olds… They have enough English to ask you what you did this weekend… but not enough to understand your answer.
Stella, in the pink. Her looks are matched by an adorable voice and an entertaining use of the English language
Sylvia in the white shirt-blue pants, would come up to me regularly with cell phone in hand and take my picture while looking very seriously all the while.
The few kids that were “difficult” for me to maintain respect from during school, are the very ones that are emailing me now that I’m gone, and saying things like “I love you and I miss you”. I’m amazed and touched.
Little Cindy is giving us the peace sign here. She is several years younger than most of her classmates. Her English is great and she’s fun to have as a student.
These girls are about 11. They are just old enough to be quite embarrassed about this picture.
Here are Mason and Jay. They are both 13. I could converse with them at normal speed and about adult concepts… They were a breath of fresh air after my first 4 hours with little kids every day.
Their classmates below are Faith and Jasmine. We 5 studied things like the sinking of the Titanic, Amelia Airheart, and the T-Rex.
Really great kids. Probably a teachers dream. They made the 4 months possible. Thank you. Marcus
Wow, Mark. This says a lot....
