Why I'm Thankful to My Students This past weekend was Thanksgiving here in the States. It's a time not only to celebrate with food and family and friends. It's a time to remember what we're thankful for. For me I am thankful for not only the friends I've met and known in person. I am thankful for the students that I've helped and gotten to known here on iTalki. Years ago, my parents came to this country with their children, wanting to make a better life for them. I saw not only how hard it was for them to learn English, but I realize the importance - not just for work but to connect with the community around us. Now I have an opportunity to help others. Not only can students benefit from my education here in the States, I love sharing my experiences growing up here in this country. So, this holiday I am thankful for the students I've met on iTalki and for those who I have yet to meet!
