It is important for my students to learn that hard work, perseverance, and consistency are very important to achieve success in life. It will be a good example to talk about the war time in Japan, when people suffered in different ways. Kids were separated from their families and sent to a camp where the lack of attention was bad but no comparable with the lack of food. Even in the middle of desperation women were preparing themselves for the final battle. They were practicing war techniques to defend their country in their own soil. Even tough Japan lost the war, and the country finished destroyed, the brave people of Japan worked together to bring back their country to the first places worldwide in a relatively short time. It is admirable how the Japanese people worked united for the love their country. This love gave them the strength to recover and placed Japan again in the top ten powerful countries in the world. It will be a great lesson to learn for my students specially with the actual situation we are living in our country dangerously divided by the ignorance, intolerance and bigotry of some small part of our society.
