While walking to the bus stop last Thursday, I ran into my math teacher. I was half a block away from the bus stop when he struck up a conversation. He's a wonderfully chatty Chinese man, but due to this I can't really understand a word he says. A huge language barrier, but we managed to hold a conversation for about 7 minutes. I kept nervously glancing at the bus stop the entire time. He asked where I was going and I answered I was going to tutor kids on the south side. He seemed very proud of me.
We said goodbye, and parted ways. I made it to the bus on time, then I went and taught math to children who speak little English.
