“Dear my teacher!
Vietnamese Lunar New Year is coming, I am excited to enjoy it. Our school will have 2 weeks off from 27Jan to 9Feb. This time for me to come back my home town, decorate my house, prepare foods and visit my relatives. This is also the good chance for me to see my old friends and visit my teachers. On occasion of Vietnamese New Year, I hope that you and your family will be healthy, lucky, and happy!”

Notes from Vietnam: Happy Vietnamese New Year!
“Hello teacher!
I haven’t signed in Facebook, so I wish you a Happy New Year by email. May your New Year be filled with the happiness and so much health! Your cute student, :-)”
My goodness how time flies by! Tomorrow marks one year since I headed off halfway around the world to Vietnam. I’m amazed how I got the courage to leave my job, sublease my apartment, say goodbye to all my friends and family, and hop on a 22-hour flight in order to do something like I’ve never done before.
Here’s a picture of me with my favorite class. To this day I receive emails from students telling me how much they miss and love me. They were worth leaving everything behind.

The relationship between teachers and students in Vietnam
It’s been five months since I’ve lived in Vietnam and I STILL get emails from students. I can’t describe how much I love them.

“How are you today? it’s long time no speak. We really miss you, do you think about us. Where are you now? New york, or where! are you happy with whatever you’re doing? teacher, do you usually remember or tell about us to your friends? but we usually tell about you, you guys are very lovely.” - Julie
I love that I continue to get emails from students. I <3 them!
“Hi, my teacher - Long time no see. How are you? I really miss you and our class. What do you do now? Continue your work as a teacher? Hope to see you in recent day.” Sincerely, Campbell
“Dear my teacher, How are you these days? I miss you very much. Now, I am in vacation in my hometown. On August 9th, I begins new semester. How about your job? Let me know that you are fine. I hope to hear from you soon.” Best wishes, Sunlight.
