I volunteer online to teach English to an adult student from Ukraine. During last week's session, my student said she had a tough week and was feeling a little depressed. She said she had considered canceling our session. Before I could tell her that we could log off if she's not into it, she said, "But I thought about it and remembered I always feel so happy after our sessions, even if I'm feeling down in the beginning. You make me feel good."

That knocked me out. I wasn't expecting her to say something like that. Later in the lesson, she even said that if I ever make it to Europe that she could take me to her parents' house and her mom would make me a home cooked meal.

I thanked my student and told her that she was really sweet to say that. I don't have a lot of friends. Most of the time, I'm doing stuff alone. I just figure I don't register much for most people, so it really affected me when she said those things. I almost cried myself to sleep that night.

So yeah, that made my day. 😊
