What's new with Nuh? — by Blake

I’ve written two posts on this blog about a past student of mine nicknamed Nuh.  The first post featured a letter that he wrote to Brian, Amy, Ryan, and I about how much we’ve changed his life by helping him improve his English skills.  The second post was an update about how he’d been accepted in to an English foreign exchange student program in America.  Well, I’ve got another update!  Randomly, on my journey back to Thailand from America, I had a layover in Tokyo and guess who I ran into at the airport?  Yep, Nuh himself.  Crazy!  I got to chat with him for a couple of minutes and his English has vastly improved.  Not only did he love America, but he’s now applying to colleges there an hopes to get accepted somewhere in Florida!  Nuh is a perfect example of how, even though sometimes it feels like we’re banging our heads against the wall, we really do matter in these students’ lives.  It makes me all warm and tingly just thinking about it.
