There's a saying in Norse, as I understand, that nothing is impossible, some things just take a little longer. Which is really nothing more than a minor thought, except to add that, I wonder if these kids, knowing what they know about "Peter Teacher," which is actually fairly substantial in some instances, (I have pictures of Martha and the girls sitting on my desk, along with my cars and car pictures, and assorted other crap,) will ever fully appreciate how much it took for me to stand before them. At this moment, I know I do. Not only was it about an expedited Passport, and getting the rest of my affairs in order, well, I've been through what it took on the inside. And I know that what a lot of what I feel transmits readily, a little TOO readily at times, so....I have to figure a few of them, at least, caught on. I have also wondered in instances, what difference I might really make to them. Maybe every teacher does. And I can only think that you never really know until the child is old enough to think for themselves, and process what has happened in their lives. Beyond that, I can't say I'm really entirely disappointed with Korea, but at this point, it isn't what I expected. A stunning welcome to the real world, I guess you might say.......
