I've had a student before who had to miss class because of his rotations. He was gone two or three classes and sent me an email apologizing, asking for my forgiveness for his missing class, and explaining he was off fighting ISIS and would be back by next class most likely.

I find it incredible that you are on the other side of the world, teaching students English, and they are sending you emails apologizing for missing class, to risk their lives to fight ISIS. While here in the US, education is often taken for granted (at least pre college), and college students always miss class for no reason. The drive and desire for this guy is incredible. And all to send the email, when he most likely will be alive for the next class.

Dude, congrats to you for doing this. This has been a dream of mine for several years now. Aaron Huey did a speech on his walk across America, and I would highly recommend it https://www.annenbergphotospace.org/video/aaron-huey-american-ocean.

I don't really have a question, but just wanted to say kudos and suggest that speech (about an hour).

Do you have a PayPal I can donate to? If you find your way walking through Sacramento, hit me up. Got a meal and a few beers on me.
