I got a message from Helen here on Monday, which made me EXTREMELY happy, because there were no messages for me at all before!
Helen was my student since I got my present job at Tai-S.
We were not that close in the beginning & she used to play tricks on me, like putting mung beans & rice into my pencil case...stuff like that.
Later on, after her graduation from the elementary school, she took the GEPT class with me for another year.
Her English is good & I was very PROUD of her for passing the GEPT elementary level.
During this period of time, we got CLOSER & I could definitely see her GROWTH, not only in English, but in herself.
She is actually such a cute girl, though most of the time, she tended to be SARCASTIC for SELF-DEFENSE.
The other day, I told her about my leaving & I could tell from her face that she was totally surprised, even she didn't say so.
There was some kind of sadness or something in a blink of an eye, I guess, but she just hid it very well.
I felt sad, too, because she has been my FAVORITE student.
On Tuesday, I got a HANDWRITTEN letter from her.
She still spoke in a tone of IRONY, but I was totally moved by this & there were TEARS in my eyes.
I never knew that I could have this kind of feeling before; it's like I had a great influence on somebody & I will be remembered by him/her FOREVER.
This is what counts, isn't it?
I don't know if Helen herself could get a chance to read this article or not, but I have to DEDICATE this to her, only her.
I'll keep working on my blog & albums, no matter where I go.
Most important of all, I'll remember her as well, wishing her all the best, too.
