3/11- A Year From Now

Last Sunday was the anniversary of the the mega quake that hit the eastern side of Japan. It has been a year and wounds have not scarred yet, nor even heal. It still saddens me to see images or read news about it.

I asked some of the students on their experiences about the earthquake and it was all scary for them. I did not have the chance to have a lesson with a student who lives in Sendai, which is one of the areas that was devastated by the earthquake. It would've have been memorable if we had a lesson together.

Although, we did not experience the huge earthquake here, we were also terrified by the students reaction. Some were stranded in stations, some were not answering the calls, some did not logged in. It was a small chaos among us and we were worried too.

Japan has not fully recovered yet and their wounds are still yet to heal. But slowly, they are fighting the pain and the suffering and looking out into the future positively. I know Japan can do it... like they have always done before.
