I have to confess something: I completely forgot that yesterday was Thanksgiving! It's one of the biggest holidays in the U.S., but because I live in Japan, it sometimes slips my mind. I felt a little embarrassed when I remembered.
However, the meaning of the holiday is gratitude, and it's a perfect time to say thank you. I want to express my deep gratitude to all my students for coming to Miami Eikaiwa. I truly cherish your effort and your presence in the classroom every week. I hope I never take your hard work for granted!
