Don't Worry, I Won't.
I think, as a student, it's easy to think affections or gestures of appreciation for teachers are lost amongst the swirling mass of the student body, enough so that one might think it meaningless to show these things at all. You're just another face in the crowd.
But really, for a teacher, it's the small things- the reminders that you're making a difference, that someone is noticing, that anyone cares at all, that make the teaching experience worthwhile.

Hi, Jon I'm Lee hyunji
Do you remember me? I drawed a you caricature. I'm so sad. Because you leave for America. But I'm okey. I'm very manly. Don't worry. Please drop me a line as soon as you get back here. I will never forget you. Never forget me please ^^* Good-bye!

Thank you, Hyun Ji. And thank you to every other student that has gone out of her way to, unknowingly, make this year a bit more bearable.
...and thanks for the mug!

That's sweet.
Will you be returning to CA anytime soon?
Also, I've moved blogs to this'un.
that is so sweet! Good to hear she's manly enough to get over you. I coached track this year and it was definitely the little things that made it all worthwhile. I don't care how many kids you interact with, they are not anonymous or unimportant and those reminders that they know you're alive make all the difference.
i'm glad that there are some things about korea/koreans that were positive, even if they might not outweigh the negative. i love the card and the mug. they have such cute things in korea.
WTF, JON. WTF.
It's unacceptable that I check this and The Chastity Belt and there is never an update to be seen. I have left you in peace for long enough, it is time for a war. A war on rare blog posting.
