Real Love Is...
My Korean Language partner meeting with me from 7:00pm until 11:00pm tonight to help me with a speaking project that is due on Tuesday.
My Korean Language Partner meeting with me this coming Tuesday before class to help me finish my project so I can turn it in, and on Wednesday night to help me study for the final Exam.
he's helped me a lot during this Semester and I'm very thankful. My help to him with the English Language has been minimal, since his English languages skills are much better than my Korean Language skills. In many of our meetings he has not been getting much english practice, and has worked hard to help me overcome my difficulties in learning Korean. He has told me it's because he feels an obligation to help me and that he want's to see me succeed at this. He certainly didn't even have to participate in this Language partnership.
But this is an example of what real love is all about. It's people helping other people just to see them succeed. There is often mutual benefit to helping others but not necessary. Real love is lifting someone else up to help them achieve their best.
As the end of the Semester gets closer, I'm even more thankful for people like this. And it encourages me.
