I cashed in on Pepero Day this year. Thank you Lotte for having enough brand power to create a holiday bigger than Valentine's Day (at least in Korea).
My kids have been amazing, making it harder for me to come to the realization that in a couple weeks we'll part ways, and I will most likely never see them again. Leaving is so bittersweet, and is more difficult than I thought it would be. Especially when I think about saying goodbye to my sweet babies. I can not even begin to describe the relationship I have established with these little ones. They've touched my heart, and I hope I've somehow found a place in theirs.
This week I scribbled down a few things that have amused me thus far:
Kindergarten
Me: "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Jun: "A doctor."
Dorothy: "A doughnut."
Elementary
Me: (While giving the vocabulary test): "Maker...like a shoemaker or dressmaker."
Chris: "Chris' maker is his mother."
After telling my favorite class I was leaving in three weeks
Timothy: "Teacher's airplane boom (crashing hand motions), and Teacher, parachute (floating hand motions). Then Teacher, car (driving motions), come back to Korea."
That simple, eh?
Teaching has been so much more than a job.

I'm going to miss your Korea postings, but am looking forward to good tidbits from SE Asia!
