Nihongo Sensai

So person of the day is my Japanese teacher. I find him very interesting and enjoyable. Not taking into account that his class is really hard and I suck at Japanese. He is always so funny and happy. He will take time out every class to tell stories. Whither about his kids or Japanese culture. And at least once a week he well go into allot of detail about a movie or the dating game. I think he loves to talk about people getting together. He is always asking how my girlfriend is. I always tell him that I do not have one and he says I should try harder. I have learned allot from him. If I could only remember half the stuff he taught I would be speaking very well by now. Yet, with all my class and laziness I find little time for study things I have already taken test on. I see him almost every morning and night. In the morning because of class and at night because he is always walking with his wife. He goes over many times how men need to treat their wives well and always let them know that they are loved. He seems to think that teaching good values is more important then teaching subject matter. I could not agree more. While we will be tested on subject matter the little things he has said about life will have much greater difference then how to say "domo arigato, Kajiyamasama"

I have to admit that there's something about nihongo no senseitachi that cause something other than subject matter to stick. My koko no nihongo no sensei was that way. I always looked forward to taking class from her. Though she was not a member of the church, there was a special Spirit in her room. I was in her class doing a kanji exercise when a 6.3 earthquake shook up the Olympia area. I was also in her class when I had my first kiss, realized that I truly had a best friend, and that there's more to life than getting outstanding grades and doing what your parents want you to do in life.

Though this did not mean do not listen to your parents, it just means that they are the foundation of who you are, but we are the ones who make the structure of who we are with the help of those around us that we meet. Heh, this has turned into my own little person of the day... sorry. Anata ga tatemo sugoi desu yo! *bows*
