"But don't take my word for it..."

You remember that from "Reading Rainbow?" When Lavar Burton would have the kids tell you bout the books they read? Well, I've talked a lot about all the great aspects of Taiwanese life. Undoubtedly, though, my students are one of the best things about my life here. Last week, I gave a few of my more advanced students 2-minutes to respond to a series of prompts. here is a sample of what they came up with. I hope their awesomeness shines thru in their writings. But don't take my word for it...
