Teacher: Stephy

 

During my fourth-grade summer vacation, I was extremely sick. I was in the hospital for a week. After I got out of the hospital, I went to a very big English camp. There I made 6 new friends. Five friends were Korean and one was an American boy named Ted. His eyes were dark green and I thought his eyes were interesting because I'd never seen anyone with eyes like his before. All the Koreans stayed in one room together, but the Americans stayed in another room. Sometimes we met on his floor of the dormitory. After camp, nobody kept in touch. However, this year I had another English camp and surprisingly I saw Ted again. I said, "Hi," to him, but he didn't remember me. We were in the same class so we talked and did our homework with other friends. Finally, we became friends again. However he lived on an army base and it was too far from my house, so we said, "So long!" There were two women teachers in my class and they were very kind to me. On the final day, my teachers and I said goodbye. I was very disappointed and cried.
