A Kind Note from My Student

—by lewski711, posted Dec 25, 2021

We’re working on paragraph writing in class. One of the assignments was to write one on your hero. This little bugger (小坏蛋<爱称>) chose me. Please do not judge his incredible manuscript. We’re working that for him. Instead, judge his content.

For those who cannot read third grade :

“My hero is Mr. Lewandowski. He can do magic. He’s good at teaching. He’s good at math. Who is your hero?”

Someone’s getting an “A” for Christmas this year!
