Student to Teacher

           This is just a group of students and interns I caught outside of the mini mart. I am not sure if you remember, but I mentioned Sunshine and Misery, the cute little couple. I finally got them in a picture. The student in the striped top and white shorts is Sunshine and then guy hiding behind her is Misery. It was a very hot day so everyone was enjoying some nice popsicles and cool drinks. 
           There is another story, not related to this picture, that I want to tell. Two days ago, in the morning time, I went to the mini mart to buy a drink to take to my class. While I was shopping around, I ran into a student. She wasn't my student, but a room mate of one of my students. I met this student when I went to their room while I was walking through their dorm with other interns. Anyways, that morning when I left the mini mart the girl ran up behind me and tapped on my back. When I turned around she was holding a drink called "Yakult". It is a very sweet drink in a small container, it has about the same volume as a shot glass. The student was holding it with two hands offering it to me. I rejected it because she had bought a pack of only three and I didn't want to take it away from her. After I rejected a couple time and she kept on insisting, she finally just shoved the drink into my hands. It was very kind of her, but what really hit me was when she said thank you to me and then bowed. That's right, she bowed to me. I of course thanked her greatly and told her that she didn't have to bow. She said that she must thank me because I am pushing her room mate to study harder which makes her want to study more. She gestured to me that I could leave by using her up-turned palm to point toward the lecture building, she bowed again walked away in the opposite direction. I stood in that same spot for a while absorbing everything . I want to recognize that girl for her kindness. I also want to note that I have not treated her room mate any differently than any of my other students.
