So if you read my status updates, it's no surprise to know that I get sick a lot in Korea. Either I'm having the time of my life or I'm sick. #firstworldpains I know. So yesterday I had to call in sick because my voice was just not up to par and if you teach, then you know what I'm talking about. I am barely heard by my 3rd grade students during my best days as it is so I decided to take the day off. My mentor, bless her heart, said I deserved to rest without hesitating. She then told me that she would stop by my house after school. She came to my house with a bag full of oranges and bananas. Produce does not come cheap in Korea so for her to drive elsewhere(my house is within a 1 minute walk from my walk from school) and buy me these..just made me realize (once again) how lucky I am to have her in my life. She never expects anything in return and when I attempt to show my gratitude towards her, she always feels like she needs to do something in order to pay me back. That's just the way she is.
She definitely makes me sad to leave Korea. She is such a wonderful person and I've learned so much from her. She does everything and expects nothing in return. Ahhh. I wish I was more like her. What a blessing she is!
