It is remarkable to think back
\nOn the first day we met
\nYou were anxious to work with us
\nTo teach the children of our center
\nYour English was adequate
\nEnough to get your point across
\nEven if it took some time
\nYour happy spirit was, to be honest
\nQuite contagious<\/p>\n
It’s been a year since you moved back home
\nI cannot believe how far you have come
\nFrom your confidence, to your language skills
\nTo your knowledge of teaching
\nYou have grown so much
\nAnd I know you’ll continue to do great things<\/p>\n
In this business it is easy to think
\nOf one’s influence on the children we serve
\nBut I never realized the kind of impact we have
\nOn the teachers we train as well<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
