I was so flattered this afternoon because two of my students told me that they like me as their teacher. It’s very touching to hear that from cute little girls. I have two new students, Elly and Stella¹. They are so cute that I want to adopt them. Haha! XD Stella was very quiet on our first meeting but as days went by, she always opens up or shares stories about her and her friends. I felt that she became comfortable with me. Elly, on the other hand, is very jolly. She always giggles and laughs when she shares her own story. I asked her why does she always laugh in my class. She said that she finds our class very fun. Wow. Sweet little kids.

This afternoon, the students had a party because Isabelle, the one who gave me a letter three weeks ago, celebrated her birthday today. Elly asked me if she could party. I didn’t know what to answer because we were supposed to have our class. I asked one of the old teachers and he told me that Stella² would like to party too. So we have no choice but to attend their party as well. Haha! They looked adorable dancing and singing the Korean songs even though I didn’t understand what they were singing. XD And oh, they even asked me to dance with them. Haha!

Having cute and sweet students makes me feel younger. I am having a great time with them that I always look forward to our classes. The nicest feeling is that they appreciate you without even trying to make them appreciate you. I just teach, have fun and laugh with them. I am thankful that at least once in my teaching life, I felt appreciated and liked by my students.
