“I want to beg you, as much as I can, dear sir to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke

The End of the Semester
Smile!
Today was the second to last day of classes. The last day will be on Monday when the kids take their final exam. So today I took pictures and the kids asked for my e-mail. It's funny. Most of them can't write very much. It'll be interesting to see what kind of letters I get. Some kids even wanted my phone number in America. I was touched, but I didn't give it to them. The kids know I'll be coming back in May so they weren't sad. And I wasn't sad either. I'll miss them, but I'm also glad this semester is going to end soon. It's been tough. I've learned more than the kids did. I hope I will be a more patient teacher and less of a pushover next semester.
