[00:00.00]My family’s reaction

[00:02.07]when I told them about

[00:03.16]my plans was as I  expected.

[00:06.11]Although they sanctioned my idea

[00:08.41]and supported me in the endeavour,

[00:10.93]they were sad to think that

[00:13.11]I would be  half way

[00:14.76] across the world for

[00:16.07]such a long time.

[00:17.49]The frown on my grandson’s face

[00:20.99]told me that the situation

[00:23.07]would be especially difficult

[00:24.82]for him and that

[00:26.68]he might feel neglected by me.

[00:28.32]Although I could scarcely

[00:31.28]argue with the comments

[00:33.91]of my family about their feelings,

[00:35.22]for their sake I talked about

[00:37.62] the time away from home

[00:39.38]as if it was

[00:40.80]just a few short days.

[00:42.00]I would be back home

[00:44.08]before they knew it.

[00:45.50]They suggested that I come back

[00:48.57]after one year for the summer

[00:51.19] and then return for the second year.

[00:52.72]I agreed to this plan.

[00:54.80]Five years ago, would I

[00:58.85] have thought that this was

[01:00.82]in the realm of possibility?

[01:02.90]I doubt that I would have.

[01:05.19]But here I am in China,

[01:07.28]in my second year of living

[01:09.13]in this amazingly progressive civilization,

[01:11.87]and I can honestly say that

[01:13.84]I have never once regretted

[01:16.57]my decision to teach in China.

[01:18.98]I must also admit that

[01:21.71]I have learned far more

[01:24.23]from my students than

[01:25.44]they have learned from me.

[01:27.30] I admire their thirst

[01:29.15]for knowledge and they see

[01:31.01] to thrive on challenges.

[01:32.99] They never seem tempted 1

[01:35.06] to take a short cut,

[01:36.70]always working hard and

[01:38.67]giving a supreme 2 effort.

[01:41.30]Their tolerance 3 for their English teacher’s

[01:44.36]lack of familiarity with

[01:45.68]Chinese customs has been appreciated.

[01:49.83]They always are positive

[01:51.91] in their attitudes toward me

[01:53.99]and have helped me whenever they could.

[01:56.94]At times they have insisted on

[01:59.68]doing things for me that

[02:01.65]I was capable of doing myself.

[02:03.18]It has become a habit to

[02:06.46]surrender to their wishes to assist.

[02:10.07]One student in particular

[02:11.93]always takes on the job

[02:13.57]of carrying my packages,

[02:15.00]saying that it is

[02:17.19]his pleasure to be my porter
