Grit and Curiosity: 민지’s Journey of Teaching and Learning

I had a class with 민지, and I was inspired by her determination and curiosity. Having lived in the United States and taught in China, she’s now in Seoul, teaching her daughter while learning English herself. Her journey and speaks to the power of lifelong learning and grit.

민지 has transitioned her teaching skills from math in China to teaching her daughter math in English. This blend of her past experience and her growing language skills is a beautiful example of how she continuously adapts and learns.

What stands out most about 민지 is her commitment to both teaching and learning. She is modeling resilience and a growth mindset for her daughter while also improving her own skills. With her background, she has the potential to teach others as well, possibly starting her own English class, combining math and language learning.

민지’s journey proves that curiosity, hard work, and grit can lead to continuous growth, no matter the age or stage of life. I’m excited to see where her path leads, as she inspires not only her daughter but also everyone around her, including me.
