Memorable Moments

I have been living in the United States of America for over three years. I am happy with my current life. However, sometimes, I remember some memories that I had with my beloved ones in my country.

I was born and raised in Vietnam, and I had a great childhood with my best friend there. We used to play hopscotch or fly a kite together. In our free time, my best friend and I used to chat for hours. We shared everything, both joy and sorrow. Sometimes, we traveled and explored some new things together. Now, although my best friend and I live in different countries, we keep in touch, and all the memorable moments are in my mind.

Besides the beautiful memories with my friend, I also had some wonderful moments with my work in my country. When I was a teacher, I was really interested in my job, and I always tried all my best to get the best results with it. I understood that different students have different learning styles, and for that reason, I have used a variety of teaching methods to be effective in class. I have used music, video, drama, role plays, and games to reach every student. My class was always a place for conversation and sharing, for creativity and exploration. Because of my efforts, I received many awards, such as Outstanding Teacher of the year in my district and The Typical Young Teacher of the city. Besides the time in class, my students and I sometimes hung out together. I took them to the farm and showed them how the farmer works. I also taught them how to grow a mushroom or catch a fish there. After a semester, we went to the movies to relax and have fun. I think there was not any distance between me and my students, and we were like friends. I cared for my students and gave them some advice whenever they had problems in their lives; similarly, when I felt stressed or tired, I talked to my students. Although they could not give me advice, their comforting words always made me feel better. I can say my old job was wonderful because I had some success at work and perhaps the memories that I spent with my old students is one of my happiest memories.

Being nostalgic about good memories is probably one of our good habits. Reminiscing about beautiful memories helps us feel our life brighter and better. Time will pass, but the memorable moments that I had with my best friend and my old students will remain in my heart forever.
