I wish you enough...

This Monday, I met Betty & Mimi outside Zhu-bei branch.
The two sisters were my students before, but after this summer vacation, they just disappeared.
I missed them very much cuz they were very FUNNY: Betty had her own sense of HUMOR & Mimi got a HIGH-PITCHED voice.
Their mom asked them to buy me a share of "dou-hua" & this WARM action made me extremely pleased.

Yesterday I got a Christmas card from Winnie.
Remember? She was ONCE my student, but went to the cram school next door at the beginning of this semester!
She asked her brother, Jason, to bring it to me.
Jason told me that this would be the LAST card from her because he's going to the cram school next door, TOO, at the beginning of the year 2007 & he won't be able to be the messenger.
But, their mom said that Winnie can still write to me & all she has to do is walk in & give it to the secretary at the counter.
Hearing this, I was half happy & half sad.
I was happy because Winnie still remembers to greet me whenever it's a holiday & their mom is SUPPORTIVE about their keeping in touch with me.
I was sad because students choose to leave us after their graduation from elementary & when entering junior high.
There must be something wrong with us, but sadly, we don't know what the problem is.
That's the CRUCIAL part and also the reason why we keep losing students...
