#great students

[akwonders]

Yesterday was my first day at work. I must say having a super supportive staff makes a world of difference. Instead of having people that cannot communicate like at my last 2 jobs, I have people that will just pop in to make sure everything is going ok or just to chat a bit. Students have been wonderful too.

There was also the first official snow here in Seoul. 😍

So yesterday was a pretty great day. I hope work and such remains that way.

Now to prepare myself for work later. I hope my pants come today before I leave.

Until next time~안녕

When I say goodbye to great classes

School started in my district on Thursday. I was dreading it after the chaos of last year... however so far have been amazed by the students I've had in class.

Came home last night and tonight tired with sore feet but happy and looking forward to next week...

Now I pray I haven't jinxed myself🤞🤞🤞🙏🙏🙏 😂😂😂

We have a substitute in history and she put a video on but literally every kid is either on their phone, talking, or sleeping.

What is it worth?

A good friend of mine once said to me, "I'll do all of my work up until Thursday. I can probably party on Friday. After that, it's back to the books. What do you think about that Randy? No one studies on Friday night." He laughs. "Who studies on a Friday night?" 

I pulled into a nearby gas station and turned the car off. "This is what you need to understand," I replied. "That's the difference between a student and a great student, an average ball-player and Michael Jordan, a musician and Beethoven. Icons, legends...Masters of their craft worked hard, studied when it was not necessary because deep inside their sophisticated minds (which we all have but never exploit) they felt that it was necessary. You want to be the best at what you do, earn it. It's why they cry at awards ceremonies, while receiving accolades from their peers. Because somewhere deep down inside the great students, scientists, Jordans, Beethovens, Speilbergs, and other pioneers of this world knew how hard they'd worked." I paused. "I'm not telling you not to have fun. I'm also not suggesting that you be great."
