Learning from children

I have been teaching at elementary school field for 36 years.
There are many things taught through the relationships with my students, and I also have learned a lot.
They have taught me countless times how I live as a person and as a parent.
At the same time, I met many parents/guardians and faculty members through my students, and they have also taught me many.
People are ‘creatures who realize themselves by seeing others’
When you look at other people and look at other things you get involved with, I believe that you are actually looking at yourself without realizing it.

Sharing a moment of happiness

From our school alumni who has returned to Japan sent us a note of passing a High School entrance examination and a picture. In the picture is a big smiley face in a brand new high school uniform.
I am sure that it was one of the happiest moments for the parents to see their child in such excitement.
Congratulations!
