My little Comedians

"I am glad you are having a great experience! Don't be afraid to let it change your life." Dr Strode

Meet Sun Chung Hoon and Pak Chi Sung! They are two of my students who come to my class every day in their taekwondo outfits and they are some of the funniest little munchkins I have ever met! Even their facial expressions crack me up and it so hard to keep them and myself focused sometimes.

My students are all wonderful. I have learned so much from teaching thus far and having so many challenges, number one being the language barrier. It can be frustrating, but the rewards have surpassed all the complications.

Bowing in Korea is similar to a handshake in Western Cultures or a kiss on the cheek in the Spanish and Latin American Cultures. It is how Koreans greet one another and it is what students or younger people do to adults and teachers. Normally, I don't get many student's bowing to me because I am a foreigner and I don't expect the students to be formal with me. But last Friday, four students that normally don't bow, bowed to me when leaving the classroom. I was so amazed, because I was told that that is a great compliment. I always hope that I have an impact on the students and that they are learning. They are surely teaching me so much in this experience.
