Today, I received an e-mail from my first apprentice. She wrote to me, "I'm going to Pusan this weekend. Let's get together!". What first apprentice?! Until I got married, I had 2 jobs. My real job was working as a secretary at a lab in a university in Kansai. I was working from Mondays through Fridays. My second job was English teacher teaching at home to nearby children, 3 nights on weekdays. It all began when my mom's friend asked me to teach her children English. By the time I was getting married, my English class was spread by words of mothers and I was teaching from 1st graders to a woman in her mid 60's. I was teaching mostly English studies taught in schools and English conversations. Today I received an e-mail from my first student. When I first started to teach her, she was a sophmore in highschool and now she is a junior in university. When she was a senior student in high school, we used to study English really hard together for her university entrance exams. When she finally passed her entrance exams, I took her out for her first drinking to celebrate her becoming a university student! It all sems like yesterday. But how time flies and see how old I've gotten. Although after I got married, I hardly have any chance to see all my students anymore. But I thank all my students for always keeping in touch with me whenever there's a chance. I'm really looking forward to seeing my student and I'm already thinking about where to show her around.
