A special visitor came across my old blog and left his comments on it–words of encouragement. Then I clicked on the name and found a wonderful blog. The title itself–快樂希望愛的分享家–is quite inspiring.

His name is Hsu Pei-kang (徐培剛), a promising and respectable young man. You will find some inspiration and power in his blog.
This morning, at the end of the fourth class, I saw Ben (吳代華) and Ya-han (曾雅韓) were outside the classroom. I went up to open the door and found two more–Yu-ting (賀毓庭) and Miranda (萬修安). Then I invited them each to say a sentence to Class 310. They told the class to start working hard from this summer and listen to me. Yu-ting asked them to follow my advice that they should read more. Ben handed me a card. I was very touched. Though I am not their homeroom teacher, there seems to be a special bond between them and me. I love to hear them call me “Ms. Lee.”
In today’s United Daily News I read an article on college education. Accroding to the author, a university professor, a quarter of his students got a zero as the final grade because they never showed up.

I don’t understand why these students go to college. They are wasting their life, don’t they? Once a student told me that he didn’t like to study at all. Hearing this, I told him not to go to college. In college, there is more for one to learn than in high school.
What makes students lose their appetite for learning?

This evening, I was told by a mechanic from Chunghwa Telecom that I could not get online tonight due to some connection problem. So I was thinking about keeping my blog on Word. Then I called a student to recommend to her the website provided by Chengkung University. Told she could not get connected to the website, I thought to myself, “Why not give it a try? Why do I have to wait until tomorrow without trying?” Then I clicked the Explorer icon. Surprisingly, I got connected to the Net. Before I started writing this entry, I’d emailed some useful information to the student.
