Have you ever thought that after you enter the senior age, what kind of life do you want to live? Retirement? Pension? Travel everywhere?
I am very grateful that I met this student who is sufficient to be a model educator.
Though there is a saying "It’s never too old to learn”, looking at her who has reached the age of "doing whatever you want and not exceeding the rules", I never think about "old".
Not only is this lady still active in the education field, she is also always joyful to learn, earnestly learning conversations, recognizing Chinese characters, and excited about finding opportunities to apply Chinese.
Learning need no comparison.
Age is never the excuse to limit yourself.
The hearty laughter in the classroom doesn’t necessarily come from learning achievements. It can also be from the devotion and innocence of facing mistakes but still enjoying them.
It’s my honor to be your Chinese teacher,
however you are indeed the teacher of my life.
是否想過自己進入樂齡後，
要過什麼樣的生活？
退休？養老？到處旅行？
我很感恩自己遇到了這位足以成為教育者典範的學生。
所謂「活到老，學到老」，
但是看著已達「隨心所欲不踰矩」之齡的她，我從沒感覺到「老」。
這位女士不僅依然在教育場域活躍著，同是也一直樂在學習，認真地學習會話、認讀漢字、更為著找到機會應用中文而雀躍不已。
學習，何必比較？
年齡，何必自限？
課堂中的爽朗笑聲，
不必一定來自學習的成就，
也可以是面對錯誤卻依然樂在其中的投入與純真。
我是你的中文老師，
而妳更是我人生的老師。
