The early spring evening was a little chilly. Mr. Charlie Reis, Mr. Christopher Dockstader, Ms. Amy Elizabeth Call and Ms. Bronagh Mooney were present in the English corner.

After knowing the rich teaching experiences of Ms. Amy Elizabeth Call in the Salt Lake City, a student asked Amy who was the most impressive student she had met. Without consideration, Amy said,“ Amina, her name is Amina!” Amina was such a gentle African girl and she went to America accidentally as an international refugee.The first time Amy saw Amina was also Amina''s first time to go to school. Facing many difficulties, 17-year-old Amina went to America to study and live, with her baby. Once she didn’t go to the class for 2 days. When she explained the reason to Ms. Amy, she cried and cried, saying the authority wanted her to go back to her country. Amy thought it was very cruel for her to tell her hard life to the authority repeatedly. Amina cherished the opportunity to study so much that she accomplished the high school in two years and eventually entered a university.

Mr. Christopher Dockstader has been in china for ten years, he shared Zhuhai’s great changes with the students, among which the buses impressed him most. He said the smelly and hot air on the old buses used to make him feel terrible, but now there are electric buses in the city. Then, he proposed that cars should be replaced by bikes in the small town. Now the street is too crowded. He gave an example that Holland was well known as “The Bicycle Country” in Europe. The air is fresh and the sky is extremely blue there.

From the teachers’ experiences and the reality of yourself, did you gain new perspective towards life tonight?
