"Our teacher
told us this was the last time we spoke to Akiko's students. We wanted to give
them a surprise. We shouted "Happy Graduation" out loud in Japanese
together, and they seemed a bit shocked and also quite glad to hear it.";
"I come to realize English is absolutely a magical tool for communication
because we can talk about so much with each other without worrying about making
mistakes."; "I felt a lot less stressed speaking to them in English today.
I tried to say whatever came to my mind even though my spoken English was not
very good at all." Well, I just can read their reflection and comments
again and again with a smile on my face while also reliving some of the very
unforgettable moments during the two-hour session, which is exactly the driving
force that will keep me going no matter what.
