The best way to describe today is a day of mixed feelings. I am sad to leave the students.
They were so caring and respectful towards all of us. They wrote and signed my notebook and
shirt. Their letters to me were thoughtful and make me want to stay. I will not forget
this emotional and memorable experience. On the other hand, I am happy for them. I am glad
that we helped them improve their english as well as teaching them good character traits
(you know what I mean). Hopefully they will be watched over and cared for.
We are currently in our hotel. Debriefing we all agreed that the trip should have been
longer. As I said before, the whole team misses the students already. I gave away some of
my old shirts to the students. I must have signed 10000000000000 shirts, notebooks, limbs
etc. My hand was so sore afterwards. Oh well.
Nhat is going to get a ripstick!
So this was the journal from the August Fifth.
This next part is Aug.6
Right now I am in Shanghai. We made it safety. The food here is great! I really enjoy it.
Tomorrow we are going to take a cruise for an hour and then the day after that we are
taking a day tour.
Don't know what else to say...we miss the students.
Thanks,
Jonathan
