One higher level student took it upon herself to write her life stories in both English and Japanese and share them with her family. She wanted to show everyone that you can do anything you want to if you put your mind to it. In her first book her writing was good but simple. Her second book was more refined but her latest book is absolutely fabulous. Sure I helped her along the way but the way she constructs sentences has come a long way. Now she’s going to make a compilation of her best stories and hopefully submit it for submission at the local library – way to go!!! Considering that she took up English past 50 one has to just admire her courage and determination. I’m proud to have been involved with her progress each and every step of the way. The best of all is that she knows she can do even more. Now that’s what I like to hear.

Adrian, it’s great to hear about such students and your pride in having to been able to help them. This is one of the rewards of teaching English that you cannot put a price on.
