My 'student' has come back from Malaysia. He had been my student for only 3 months before his departure to Malaysia. When I met him at Buffet Party, he talked in a friendly way(this is very uncommon here in Japan, that is why I was surprised) about his experiences in Malaysia.
One thing that really excited me is.... the way he said 'Thank You'. An open and genuine gratitude. I feel contentment for having done something right. Now I understand why my parents chose ' teacher ' as profession. I've got only one student but this feeling of excitement remained for the whole evening. Wow, being teacher must be a pleasing activity. Helps maintaining mental well-being by feeling happy all the time. Juvenile occupation.
