After Grace’s visit, I haven’t got the time to jog down my reflection. I was thankful but hyperactive. After her trip, I had preparation days for the new school year. I was super busy. We had wonderful memories. We talked, chatted, dined out, had fun, attended a concert, and slept together. It was unforgettable. For me, she is a teacher, a mentor, and a good friend of mine. She also told me that we are good friends. We present our true selves to each other. We cherish the quality time together and the memory we created.

Since it is a day off for the typhoon, I finally have time to calm down. I take K3 Garfield class with Ariel. It is too early to say anything, but challenges are. When I look back on the process of becoming a teacher, it is not easy. With a lot of twists and turns, I changed my thoughts. I become more patient with understanding and empathy, especially with kids’ behavior. I think the key lies in Grace made me know that I am beloved and I am able to love more kids and inspire some young hearts.

I saw this picture on the Internet. I think it sticks to my heart.

Also, I strongly agree with this picture and I am thankful to have all my supporters at home, at school, at far afield. Besides, I would like to share this with Grace someday so that she knows how important she means to me.

In addition, we went out for mom’s birthday celebration. It was the time that I realized that my parents got old and so did Machi. I love all of them. ❤️
