One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent two months teaching English in a primary school in rural Thailand, with no prior knowledge of Thai language or teaching experience. I don't know if the kids' language skills improved much. but I was able to develop a huge bond with them which transcended language. I thought that was pretty amazing.
