From Today's Class

"I didn't see you a long time. I want to miss you very much."

--from a student dialogue this morning

"I am broken... I am broken..." myKorean friend, Oak, who works in the shop downstairs, said to me one morning. Not understanding, but definitely seeing and feeling the emotional turmoil she was in, I gave her a big hug, and said, "It'll be okay, it'll be okay." She continued to shake her head sadly and repeat, I am broken... I am broken."

On my way out the door, she said it again.. and then I understood...

She said, "I am broken... I am broken... I have no money."
