Straight from a Student’s Heart

by Dong Hu

This is a message from an ELA student to his class, after his presentation on Self-Discovery:

Dear Ms. Roula & Friends,

Thank you all so much for giving me the opportunity to create a special attempt with all of friends in today’s class. It is Ms. Roula’s trust and the understanding of my classmates that make me try it more bravely. So it’s so good to have you all around me that I am not a lonely one but a lucky one. 😘

I wish my life is a special journey with dreams and love, the same to you, my dear guys. Although there was/is/will be something unhappy during my life, what’s better than being happy?! We can find happy persons or things, and also create ones. If you get energy and enthusiasm from happiness, you could face the challenges and difficulties in your lives. 😎

At the same time, I am very glad to explore and experience new ways of learning and thinking. I hope they do work for you and me. So I would rather see Ms. Roula as one of my mentors than only a teacher, because with her help I could try to trigger the process to discover myself as an adult. It’s amazing! 😋

When it comes to learn English, I guess there is no way for me besides practice, practice and practice. It’s more effective because I am both shy and a man in reality. I believe that sunshine always comes after the wind and rain, to me, and to you. 😀

BTW, that’s OK for me that if someone need the slideshow for personal use, please ask Ms. Roula to send you. The self-discovery today is actually based on Dr. John Holland’s theory of occupational choice, which is well-suited for someone who want to get the plan about your possible works or even your future life. 😇

OMG, my face now is so tired because practicing English is just practicing my facial muscles. English is pretty different from Chinese,so I have to read it aloud to improve my pronunciation. This is just my answer I didn’t tell you in today’s class. 😂

Have a good night, guys. Love you all. Dom🤞
