Modesty Aside

It's been two days since my last day of work for AEON, Hamamatsucho School.  I did it. And then some. I helped two students with their English job applications. I met students who were initially hell to work with but through patience and perseverance they became extremely motivated and could not stop smiling in class. I motivated a few of my private students who before did not really care about their studies to actually  realize their full potential, and they improved. I showed them that learning English can be tons of fun and yet still be educational. But perhaps most of all, I confused them with the fact that a teacher in a suit working in downtown Tokyo could be downright insane. And at the end of it all, a few of them came to my going-away with gifts I shall always cherish and keep dear, a card I shall keep with me on my travels to Southeast Asia, and with the sense of accomplishment for having been able to influence some of my students.
