So, tonight at class, one of the 8-9 year old boys came up to me and handed me an envelope with my name on it. I was immediately curious as to what this could be as I watched him walk over to Mr. Mc and hand him an envelope also. I opened it and here is what he had written,
Dear Miss ____,
Thank you for teaching us Tae Kwon Do. Thank you for teaching me all the stuff to protect myself. Congratulations on getting your black belt. Love, Z
So simple, but sweet. I was simultaneously surprised and impressed because although this kid isn't the most difficult to get through, he does have a tendency to disrupt the other kids by talking during class and in the beginning especially, talking back to my instructors. I am noticing a difference in him - slowly, but surely - but that's what matters.
Small things like this remind me of just how much I enjoy teaching.

Thats a really nice gesture.
It's so sweet of the boy to make that letter. As a teacher, this letter definitely means a lot to you. It shows that you have touched that boy's life by teaching him self-defense. :)
A nice and appreciation letter from a happy student. Harmony and passion is existing among students and teachers.

I've been reading the weblog a couple of days and merely wanted to say that the way with words is top notch. All the best.
