Dear friends of Taiwan, This has been a tough decision on my part due to the responsibilities and friendships I would have to part with, but it has been finalized in my mind and it is as I am going to present it to you in this post. As many of you know, I have been visiting friends and family of which I havent seen for 2 years. After the month long visit, I was due to return to Taipei and become a full time language student while working part time at my previous workplace. Upon my family visit, I visited my grandmother (shes 91 this year! Shes been keeping healthy and having the right mindset on life). Staying with her for one week has made me realize that of my 26 years being alive, I spent close to very little time with her. She is the last grandparent still alive. Thanks to her and my grandfather, I was able to finish my undergrad education debt free. Every time my friends talk about paying off student loans, I can only be grateful of my hardworking grandparents who value quality education. I want to cook Japanese food for my grandma and speak to her in Japanese. I want her to know that her generation did a good job in getting her children to where they are now. I dont want her to feel lonely by herself at home. I hope that those of you I am addressing this news to can be as understanding as possible of my choice. Im glad to have met every single one of you, and all of you have had a positive influence on my life. It was comforting to know I have friends who remind me of home, and are there during the thick and thin times. I had good roommates who I never had to argue with. Board games on weekends have changed my life. Even as a teacher, I learned so much from my own students. I learned that children can be fun to work with even though they can be tiny monsters sometimes. I learned to become a better teacher through them. I learned to become a better teacher through my coworkers too. They always cheered me up and shared their incites and teaching techniques with me so openly. Being in a workforce with young progressive minds was such an exhilarating experience. Thank you to each and every one of you for the enjoyable time Ive had in Taiwan. Ill be looking forward to seeing some of you outside of Taiwan, or many of you if I do come back to Taiwan later in the future. 臺灣的朋友，大家好！ 這一年半，我應該給你們感謝。2013年，我去臺北的原因是語言學習。可是，沒想到每天用那麼多英文。1年半後，我到底有學費錢。原來從九月我開始學中文，可是最近有一個重要的事情。住在北加州的奶奶，頭內越來越衰落了。我對她有擔心。所以，我跟她一起同居一點。下月，我不回來臺灣。我好久不可能見面你們。真的對不起。直到現在，雖然我的中文還沒很好，思考也不成熟，你們有很多耐心。如果我有各式各樣的問題，我可以用英文或慢慢的中文告訴你。你們太客氣，任何時候讓我快樂。台灣人的敬備真的世界第一。如果你們來加州，請告訴我。我會等等你。＾＾ 我正在打的中文正確了嗎？
