1. Receiving some much needed "goodies" from mom and dad
2. Receiving a very sweet note from an old high school buddy (Thanks SFJ!)
3. Getting some good, sound, advice from a strong Christian woman I know (Thank you much YD!)
4. Waking up every morning and realizing that despite how I may be feeling, I have something brand new to be thankful for.....everyday
One thing I learned this week:
Students have to pay to go to high school! I was having a conversation with my co-teacher and she was telling me that after middle school, it is the child's (and their parents) responsibility. The Republic of Korea has an "obligation" to provide free education only until (after) middle school! The cost? She wasn't quite sure, but she paid 190,000 when she was in high school. By the way, they pay per semester. So, the spring semester is February to June (or July...not too sure) and the fall semester is August to January.
Enjoy the pictures below from Seoseok Middle School Field Day and Festival (held back to back, on separate days....)
