Student 5: “More interesting was the Embrace the Spotlight performance. The story about the cancer girl and boy was depressing. It was creative, but depressing. The best parts, though, were the debates. Rice vs. noodles, despite being a very ridiculous topic, was delivered with surprising professionalism (by the way, Noodles totally won that one). The other debate was squat toilets vs. sitting toilets. It degenerated rather quickly. I think everyone fell apart after one of the guys asked, “So you like having a hole in your bathroom?” Everyone fell apart after that. Also, one more thing: Chinese Mafia is a really, really fun card game.”
Student 7: “Today was the last day of Embrace the Spotlight, and working with these kids for the last couple of days and forming a close bond with some of the students makes me think I’m really going to miss all of them. They are all very bright students and I was honestly so shocked to find out how much English they knew. They all also did really well reading and writing the passages they performed during the showcase. Although I wish we spent more time trying to get them to be less shy and more open with sharing all of their writing or saying an answer to a question we asked in class.”
