La Japoneisa: The Job

One of the most rewarding things, once you get yourself a job that is (even if it is volunteering), is when you can see that there is a trace of some sort left behind you, and its even better, if it is an impact of a positive value.
Miss Ueshima told me last week after the class, that Yuta (her son), walks around the house occasionally slipping English words into his conversation, instead of using their Japanese equivalents. Today she told me that he keeps asking her how to say that or that word in English. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside, makes my heart smile.
Or when Aira comes running into the school in the morning shouting "私のベロちゃん!私のベロちゃん!" (My Berochan, my Berochan!). Or when Shunsuke and Taito are agreeing that they want to become Berochan (...mmmm...?????...).
