Minor minor...
So my school asked me to write a little blurb for the school's yearbook.
How does this sound?
Hi everyone! I'm so sad the year has come to an end! My experience at KeiMei Junior High School has been one of the most rewarding, exciting, and memorable adventures I've ever had, and it's because of YOU! I was extremely fortunate to meet all of you. Many thanks to the staff – I could not have dreamed of a better group of people to work with. You were always so friendly and accommodating! I'll never forget KeiMei Junior High School and all the laughs, struggles, and cultural exchanges we shared. Please continue your English studies. Many of you are so much smarter than you give yourself credit for. You can do it!! And please, keep in touch (JanineErickson@yahoo.com) – I’d love to continue practicing English with you and read updates about your life after KeiMei. Teachers and students alike, you are always welcome in my home if you are ever in Los Angeles. :) Good luck with all your future endeavors. Take care and never underestimate your potential!!! Thank you for an amazing year. Best always, Janine.
Did I over-do it a little?
The other day, one of the girls here said how she thought when someone gave advice to the students to "not be shy", that it was completely negative and offensive.
Really?? Is it?? Is that discouraging? I wouldn't think so...but I guess a few people here do...
What do you think? Did I over-do the....don't underestimate your potential part of it? But it's true!! They're so smart -- that was my way of trying to put nicely, don't be shy. You have the skills to suceeeed!!
haha, k well I could use some advice about what to omit or add. I tend to get wordy with things, and I think it sounds redudant? But I can't tell anymore.
and uh...does "you'll always have a friend in Los Angeles, if you ever find yourself in America" -- does that sound better than, you are welcome in my home?
;P
I'm constantly paranoid and over-analytical all the time. i know i know. :)
Kudos and thanks!!
