teachers

i think if you always have an attitude of learning, anyone can be your teacher and you can get more wisdom and knowledge from them.

anways, there are many teachers by whom i got influenced.
one of them is my essay teacher from the clam school i attended in tokyo for a year.

she was a shining, cheerful and humbled lady and everybody liked her.
i really liked how she conducted classes and was happy to do extra reading for students' writing.
we really got on well and we went have lunch together and still keep in touch by emailing.


the most important thing that she taught me was knowing the truth.

i never liked studying.
but in her class, i learned how ignorant i was and how i wasnt aware of that fact.
i didnt mind expressing my ideas and was never shy about it.
However, i realized that having my own opinion without knowledge was really scary thing.
i ashame myself by doing it.

i started liking studying.
i started reading books again. (only what im interested in though)
i started being interested in what people think about a certain thing.

i can be really lazy and not hardworking.
and i think its not that bad.
but there are times when you need to know the truth and be sure that your ideas and opinions are not out of ignorance

this is what she taught me.
