I envy her...
I've been taking an English writing class for 2 months. This is my first time to attend a kind of real English class with a native teacher, so I thoroughly enjoy myself.
Yesterday, my teacher, who comes from the U.S, told us about one of his wonderful students. Actually, she passed away because of a cancer. He said, "She was my best student in my life."
It may sound odd, but I feel jealousy... I'm one of his students, and I've been taking his class. Of course, I understand I'm not good enough to be mentioned that way, but I'm one of an eager learners. What's the difference between her and me?
Come to think of it, I used to have the same feeling when I was a child. Hearing my teacher praising one of my friends, I felt uncomfortable and I made up my mind to study harder.
Am I envious? Am I thinking too much?
For one thing, this kind of jealousy always makes me have ambitions.

Nice to meet you!
Hey Emi! I was just looking through some blogs
and wanted to say hi, so I'm here :)
I'm just guessing that the teacher was trying to make you guys want to study harder! But I do know how you feel, cause I think I'm kinda person who can't stand losing as you say. Of course too much is too much, but you know way better than people who have no ambition!

You can say that again. Come to think of it, teachers tend to controll their students with some strict words... It works well sometime, and it doesn't work sometime as well. I'd like not to take his words personally. XD

Hi Emi
I know how you felt.
I tend to feel jelous when I feel others are more complimented than I.
But, given she was suffering from cancer, how should I say, well, I guess your teacher just want to remember her.
I wish she could live in pease in heaven forever.
Even if your teacher doesn't know you are an earnest student, you know who you are.
And bear in mind you have many friends to support your blog.^^
Sincerely

Thank you for your thoughtful comment! I'd like to do my best, so I might have felt that way. In any event, I'm doing what I can do. I understand that jealousy gets us nowhere sometimes.
