A friend asked, "Do you keep letters from your students and friends?" Here's the answer: Yes, I do and I keep them all in a bottle. I keep them in a bottle and often read them once in a while. I'd like to share you some of my favorite among them.

I love writing letters to my closest friends. If you got a letter from me, it means I appreciate you so much. Handwritten letters mean a lot to me so if there are people who give me one, I really keep them. ♥
Here are some of the letters:

As a teacher to foreigners, it has been so difficult to adjust from my native tongue to teaching my 2nd language English to Koreans. It was just a short time of teaching but I had great memories with them! This is also when I started to get accustomed with their food and culture further.

Lastly, letters from my circle of friends are all well appreciated. Thank you for always remembering important dates like my birthday, Christmas and other life events. I got random messages from my friends and for always being there despite everything.
Letters like this help me keep myself on track whenever I feel down or lost. It reminds me of all the special moments with the people I've been with and it inspires me to work harder in the future. To my students whom at some point let me learn lots of real life lessons, to the volunteers who inspired me that helping others is a way to share blessing and it returns to you a thousand folds and to my friends who reminds me that no matter what, despite the distance, we are still friends and will always be. Thank you so much for leaving a note for me to remember how blessed I am through the years.
