This is apropos of nothing but it’s such a great story that I have to share it. Today in her ESL class, Kathy paired up her students for an icebreaker writing assignment. And, as often happens, there were two stragglers left over (one young woman and one young man, in this case, sitting on opposite sides of the room from each other) who didn’t feel comfortable taking the initiative to pair with anyone. So Kathy put them together.
Which was a good thing. As it turned out, even though the two didn’t know each other, the happen to have grown up in the same home town.
In China.
