I was a teacher and, naturally, before becoming a teacher, I was also a student like anybody who has gone to school. For me, the appreciativeness of a student toward his/her teacher is one of the most important relationships in one’s life. For the past several years, I have written quite a few articles on that special kind of relationship of Vietnamese students with their teachers.[1, 2, 3] This article is about the same thing but within a different context: I was a Vietnamese student and the teacher was an American. This special teacher-student relationship is profoundly rooted and will last until the last day of our lives.
