As we talked about briefly in culture class today, here is a picture of an inukshuk (plural inuksuit). If you would like to read more about inuksuit, please CLICK HERE Here is something that I had inscribed on a retirement gift for a friend and colleague of mine here in Korea:
Canada's aboriginal people (especially Inuit) have used Inukshuks since the beginning of time. An Inukshuk represents the human spirit and is used to guide weary travelers through the vastness of Canada's arctic. Inukshuks are enduring symbols of strength, truth, and vision.

We have chosen this gift for you professor Kim, because we believe that much like the Inukshuk, you represent the human spirit. You and what you have accomplished during your illustrious career epitomize the ideals of strength, truth, and vision. You have been a beacon for people with special needs in Korea, guiding them on their journey and helping them to find their way.
And also like the Inukshuk, what you have done for your country will leave a lasting impression on the landscape for centuries to come.
Please accept this gift as a reminder of not only your retirement, but also of our admiration and respect for you and your remarkable contributions to Special Education in Korea!

hello
Hi, Walter, our homeroom teacher!^^ I'm Shawna in class 6. Like the other trainees, I'm enjoying your class so much. The most impressive thing is that you always try to remember the trainees's names, call their names as many times as possible, make good eye contact with each of them, and greet them very brightly. Thank you! (Through this course, I got to know what my students might want from me.)Hopefully, someday soon, our class can have a time with you. My classmates are really nice, warm and humorous! You'll see..^^ Have a nice day~~
