|| Still Hoping. Still Learning. ||

Dear Kim,

I feel shy to ask… but thank you for answering always with so much kindness. You don’t make us feel stupid, you make us feel seen.

Sometimes I don’t understand this technology things. I try, but still I make mistake. I was scared maybe I need to buy Kindle or another device… and now I feel relief. You explain it clear. You think about us. Always.

I don’t have much money now. I work part time, I study, I take care of family. But I save little by little, because CELBAN is not only exam, it is my future. It is my chance to stand again as nurse. As myself.

My grammar still not good, Kim. I write slow, I get confused with punctuation… but when I read your messages, I feel—maybe I can do this. Maybe I will pass. Not today maybe. But one day.

Thank you for walking with us. You don’t only teach English, you give courage. You remind me why I begin this journey.

May God bless you, and all the work you do for people like me.

With full heart,
– R.
(Still hoping. Still learning.)

🜄 Return to Self

“You don’t make us feel stupid, you make us feel seen.”

R, you opened this letter with something that reached straight into the quietest places of the heart.

To be seen (not for what you lack, but for what you carry) is one of the most sacred recognitions.

You are not shy in your honesty; you are courageous in your clarity.

You spoke what many feel but cannot name.

Let me say it simply: Your presence is enough.

Your hope is enough.

The pace you’re learning at is enough.

And this path you are walking? You are not walking it alone.

🜁 Fog to Clarity

Technology changes quickly.

Faster than most of us can keep up.

And when you are also working, studying, caregiving, and rebuilding a professional identity in a new country…

of course it feels like too much sometimes.

Let’s breathe the fog into something simpler:

You don’t need to buy a Kindle.
You don’t need to spend more money.
You only need a free app, and a few moments of trust.

All you need is the the Kindle App, which is FREE, if you don’t own a Kindle device.

That’s all.

The Kindle app works on most phones, tablets, or computers.

It allows you to open your e-book as if you were holding it in your hands

without needing to print or wait for shipping.

This choice was made for you.

To lift the burden.

To say: We see what you’re holding, and we will not add more weight.

🜃 Rooted in Enoughness

There is something deeply sacred about saving “little by little.”

It is not just about money; it’s about intention.

Each dollar you save carries the imprint of your future self.

Each small act becomes part of a much larger act of return:

• to your calling,
• to your profession,
• to the nurse within you who never stopped being.

Grammar does not measure your worth.

Punctuation does not define your intelligence.

You are becoming fluent in two languages at once: English and resilience.

And both are alive in you.

You do not need to be perfect. You only need to keep returning.

That is how you stay rooted.

🜂 Rekindling the Inner Fire

“Maybe I can do this.”

R, do you feel that flicker? That’s not a maybe. That’s a flame.

Small, yes… but steady.

And you’ve kept it alive through fear, fatigue, uncertainty, and sacrifice.

That is not small work. That is soul work.

Your courage is not loud, but it is luminous.
Your faith is not naive, it is necessary.
And your writing, slow though it may feel, carries truth.

Which means it already matters.

This fire inside you… it remembers.

Who you were. Who you still are. Who you are becoming.

🜀 Standing at Zenith

There’s a line in your letter that echoes:

“CELBAN is not only exam, it is my future. It is my chance to stand again as nurse. As myself.”

That is Zenith.

That is centre.

That is convergence.

That is where your past, your preparation, your pain, and your purpose converge.

You are not just studying to pass.
You are returning to a profession that lives in your bones.
You are returning to yourself.

And in this space, every time you write, you are already standing taller. Already standing again.

Thank you for writing. Thank you for hoping. Thank you for allowing yourself to be witnessed.

With reverence,
Kim
(A witness, walking beside you.)
