Thank You...

hey today’s video is a little bit

different

today i want to give a special message

to you

from my heart you see on thursday it was

thanksgiving here in america

and whoo was the food awesome i enjoyed

the time that i was able to spend with

my family we laughed we talked

and it was just an amazing day and

thanksgiving

is all about giving thanks for what

you have received what god has blessed

you with

and the things that are going on in your

life so

i can’t leave you out you see a lot of

times you

put comments under my video lessons or

send me emails or send me messages or if

you’re in my academy you send me video

messages

just to say thank you for what i do for

you each week

you say teacher thank you so much for

your video lessons or

thank you so much for helping me reach

my goals and i appreciate all of your

messages

but i realized it was time for me to

tell you how i feel

and i have my notes right here so bear

with me as i go through this message

that i want to give to you all

you see i don’t think you realize how

thankful

i am for you that’s right for you

you know you may feel like you’re not

doing anything but you really are

you know as a youtuber as an english

teacher online

a lot of times my face or i’m in the

forefront so you

watch me through a computer screen or

your cell phone or or your tablet

and sometimes you don’t necessarily know

what’s going on in my head you just

enjoy the the video or enjoy whatever

i’m teaching you

but you may not realize how thankful

i truly am for you so let me kind of go

back a little bit

in my story um you see when i was

in korea again you know that i lived in

korea for 10 years you know that i quit

my job at nasa and i went to korea

and i was an english teacher there great

experience

learned a lot met thousands of students

taught thousands of students

and that experience is really one of the

best experiences i have had in my life i

learned a lot

i grew a lot and i developed so many

relationships

but right at the end of my time in korea

i had a dilemma the dilemma was what am

i gonna do

when i go back to america and i had two

choices

you see i had gotten my master’s degree

i you know i

got a master’s degree in oriental

painting and for those that don’t know i

love

art i love painting but i also enjoyed

teaching

so i had two choices i said okay either

i can go back to america and become an

art professor

or i can keep moving forward with this

teaching online thing

i can see what’s going to happen with

this youtube channel and see if

i can really help more students this is

a long time ago

maybe about three years ago and i

decided to

pray for a full week like i we i fasted

and prayed for a full

week i only ate a certain diet and i i

got up early in the morning

because i really wanted to make sure

that i moved forward in the way that god

wanted me to move forward

again stay with me because this is why

you are so important

to me so i prayed for a full week every

single morning getting up early and i

said god here’s the deal

i’ve been living in korea as a

missionary for 10 years teaching english

and my life was so fulfilled and now i

have to go back to america

god i need to still feel fulfilled every

week i need to feel like i’m giving back

and i’m helping people reach their goals

every week

if that means i need to become an art

professor okay

but if that means i need to move forward

with youtube you have to show me

so after that week after that seven day

period

praying hard studying the bible trying

to figure out how god could use me the

best

to help other people god revealed to me

that he wanted me to go the youtube

route

now at that time i wasn’t it was youtube

i i loved it

but i mean i wasn’t making any money or

anything like i was just literally

stepping out on faith

but the main thing was to say god i have

to help

people like i’m not just gonna do this

because i need to make money or i need

to start my own business

my goal was to help people

so god revealed tiff i need you to go

the youtube route so i said okay

i’m gonna go to youtube rap but god you

have to make

this my ministry you have to make this

something that i can use

to truly help people around the world

fast forward to today and now you’re

here

every single week i receive messages got

my notes here guys

every single week i receive messages

your comments under my videos

your email messages again your video

messages telling me

how much the lessons that i’m teaching

are helping you

you don’t realize how much fuel that is

for me

you don’t realize how every message you

send me

every email you send me literally makes

me want to work harder

for you and i know that sometimes you

all don’t see the

what is the word i want to say you know

on youtube you know it’s kind of like

we’re

on tv so you just see hey this is who i

am but i want to be real with you

your messages literally make me want to

work harder for you

they give me fuel for the next week like

yes

i did make the right decision i am

helping

somebody gain confidence i am helping

somebody reach their goals

so i want to work harder the next week

and i just want to say thank you for

that

your words mean something your messages

mean something i’ve even cried at times

from the messages i’ve received from

students

like man god thank you so much for

giving me this opportunity

to touch someone’s life through english

who would have thought remember i told

you all before and when i was in high

school my least

favorite subject was english not because

of the teacher just because it just

wasn’t my thing i did well in it

and i got good grades but i liked art

and science and math but

fast forward to today and i’m an english

teacher like i’m literally an english

teacher

and i want to thank you for being my

fuel

every single week your messages mean

something

i want to tell you about some of the

messages i’ve received from you all

um man the first one that really hit

home oh hit home means

kind of touched me or uh like maybe

brought a tear to my eye

or really really touched my heart

we say it hit home hit home um

a student man this was maybe two years

ago i think

and i won’t say any names or anything

but a student sent me an email it was a

long email i said okay let me you know

i read all my emails so for those that

get my email responses a little bit late

it’s because i’m the one checking my

emails and i get

thousands of emails but i do like to be

personable

so anyways this student sent me an email

and the student was saying

that um i’ll say they it was i was a guy

or a girl but it was

they said that they were in school in

university

uh they were an older individual maybe

in their 30s

and they had decided to go back to

school but they were living in america

and they said that it was so stressful

because english was their second

language

it was so stressful to keep up in class

they were having a hard time

writing papers and it was just a

stressful situation for this individual

and i understood because again i studied

in korea

got my master’s degree and everything

was in korean so i felt their

uh challenges or their frustrations

and they said they got to a point where

they wanted to give up

they said it was that bad and then they

found my youtube channel

then they found my youtube channel and

they were like man

a video they watch from me ah man

they’re not bad tears guys they’re good

um

that one of my videos help them not to

commit suicide

i was like man how can an english video

help somebody not commit suicide

and as i continued reading the email

they were like

tiffany you think you’re just teaching

english but you’re not

sorry guys um they said you’re doing

more than teaching english

and they said after watching my videos

they gained more confidence

um they started doing better in school

they didn’t want to commit suicide

anymore because of the stress that they

were getting from

trying to um

you know study in america you know and

english and their second life and again

like

it’s not easy studying in a second

language so when i read that email

and i realized that wait a minute i’m

teaching english

but somebody oh here’s another

expression

um came off the ledge so basically um

off the ledge means like you were about

to do something very bad or detrimental

um but you decided not to do it anymore

and the fact that a video

or videos where i’m teaching you english

could help somebody

not want to commit suicide anymore i

said okay god

yep i’m in the right place so again this

is why i’m saying you guys don’t realize

how thankful i am for you

um yeah so that was just the first the

first message and i was like

i told my family and i was like i’m just

teaching english

but when you get emails like that how

can you not want to get up early in the

morning like i get up early every

morning right now it’s actually very

early in the morning which is why my

voice is a little bit different

but how can you not want to get up early

in the morning and stay up late at night

to produce videos when you know that

what you’re doing can help somebody

gain more confidence reach their goals

and even for some individuals

gain so much confidence that they don’t

want to take their life anymore

this is why i do what i do because of

you

and i want to thank you for j again your

messages now

i’ve gotten a few more they’re not as

emotional um

but again if that student is watching

just realize that you touched me

and then you helped me to keep going

because again like

being on youtube and being a teacher

online it is a lot of work

but when you have students like you who

um appreciate the work that’s being done

and who are benefiting and who are

gaining more confidence it it makes you

happy like i’m happy every morning that

i get to work for you guys and to

produce videos

um and again these are not bad tears

these are happy tears and you know i’m

just touched by you guys

um i’ve had students who have messaged

me and said teacher after your videos

i passed an interview and got a better

job and can take care of my family i’m

like man

i’m just in my office recording these

videos me and the camera

but somebody’s life has changed i can’t

stop

i can’t stop making these videos for you

guys

i had a few students who hated english

they were like i hated english teacher i

didn’t like it

but now i actually enjoy getting up in

the morning to study because of your

videos

my job is only to help you gain

confidence

my job is to help you be confident in

yourself

and to enjoy what you’re doing and if i

can do that i’m happy

and when you guys let me know that

that’s what’s happening man

you don’t understand how i feel and then

i’ve had students who’ve said that um

um they’re able to do other things it’s

not just

english that they’re learning they’re

learning more about life and moving

forward and staying optimistic and

it’s just crazy honestly guys the

messages that you guys send me

and how they make me feel as an

individual

um so again i wanna

note thank you for watching every week

uh thank you for taking the time

out of your day to support this channel

it lets me know that the decision i made

a few years ago

uh to go full time to do youtube full

time and youtube is not easy

because you know your views go up one

week and down the next week and

everything fluctuates so every week i’m

researching trying to see how i can help

students more and how i can

be there for you more and some weeks the

video views are good and some weeks

they’re low and

you know it’s it’s not easy um for

youtubers but

you make it uh make it a joy you

really make me uh happy to do this every

single week so

once again um i want to thank you uh

again

thursday was thanksgiving and i just

wanted to post this thanks

this thank you message to you um for

what you do

um and for how you keep me encouraged

um i’m very i’m a very optimistic person

you know um

and i love what i do but i love what i

do because of you

so thank you for all your messages i do

read them

嘿,今天的视频有点

不同,

今天我想给你一个特别的信息

发自内心,你在星期四看到

这是美国的感恩节

,哇,食物太棒了

,我很享受与家人共度的时光

我们笑了,我们聊了

,这真是美好的一天,

感恩节

就是感谢

你所得到的,上帝赐予

你的,

以及你生活中正在发生的事情,

所以

我不能把你排除在外,你会看到 很多

时候,你

在我的视频课程下发表评论,或者

给我发电子邮件或给我发消息,或者如果

你在我的学院,你给我发视频

消息

只是为了感谢我每周为你所做的

一切

你说老师,谢谢你 非常感谢

您的视频课程,或者

非常感谢您帮助我实现

目标,我感谢您的所有

信息,

但我意识到是时候

告诉您我的感受了

,我的笔记就在这里,所以请

耐心等待我 通过这条消息

,我

想把你看到的一切都给你

在线很多时候我的脸或我在

最前沿,所以你

通过电脑屏幕或手机或平板电脑观看我

,有时你不一定

知道我的脑海里发生了什么你只是

欣赏视频 或者享受

我教给你的任何东西,

但你可能没有意识到

我是多么地感谢你,所以让我回到

我的故事中,嗯,当我

再次在韩国时,你知道我在

韩国生活了 10 年你知道

我辞掉了在美国航空航天局的工作,我去了韩国

,我是一名英语老师,在那里我

学到了很多经验,结识了成千上万的学生,

教了成千上万的学生

,这种经历真的是

我经历过的最好的经历之一 我的生活 我

学到了很多

我成长了很多 我去 发展了如此多的

关系,

但就在我在韩国结束的时候,

我陷入了两难境地,困境

是我回到美国后要做什么,我有两个

选择

,你知道我已经拿到了硕士学位,

我知道我

拿到了 东方

绘画硕士学位,对于那些不知道

我喜欢艺术的人

来说 转发这个

在线教学的事情,

我可以看到

这个 youtube 频道会发生什么,看看

我是否真的可以帮助更多的学生这

是很久以前的事了,

也许是大约三年前,我

决定

像我一样祈祷一整周

禁食祈祷了整整一个

星期 我只吃特定的饮食 我

早上很早就起床

因为我真的很想

确保我以上帝希望我再次前进的方式

前进

留在我身边 因为这就是为什么

你是如此重要

对我来说,所以我每天早上早起祈祷整整一周

,我

说上帝,这就是

我作为传教士在韩国生活

了 10 年教英语的交易

,我的生活是如此充实,现在我

必须走了 回到美国,

上帝,我每周

仍然需要感到满足 要继续

使用 youtube,您必须向我展示,

所以在那一周之后,在那 7 天的时间之后,

努力祈祷学习圣经,

试图弄清楚上帝如何

最好

地使用我来帮助其他人上帝向我

透露,他希望我去 youtube

路线当时我不是

youtube,我喜欢它,

但我的意思是我没有赚到任何钱或

任何东西,我只是从字面上

走出信仰,

但主要的是说上帝我

必须帮助

人们 就像我不只是要这样做,

因为我需要 d 为了赚钱,或者我需要

自己创业

事工,你必须做出这样的

事情,我可以用它

来真正帮助世界各地的人们

快进到今天,现在你每周都

在这里

我收到消息在

这里收到我的笔记

每个星期伙计们我收到消息

你在我的视频下的评论

你的电子邮件又是你的视频

消息

告诉我我所教的课程对

你有多大帮助你没有意识到这

对我有多大的帮助

你没有意识到你

给我发的

每封邮件你给我的每封邮件是怎样的 让

我想为你更努力地工作

,我知道有时你们

都看不到

我想说的话你知道

在 youtube 上你知道这有点像

我们

在电视上所以你只看到嘿这是 我是谁,

但我想和你真实的

你的消息 ges 真的让我想

为你更努力地工作

他们给我下周的动力,就像

是的,

我确实做出了正确的决定 我正在

帮助

某人获得信心 我正在帮助

某人实现他们的目标

所以我想在下周更加努力

只是想说谢谢

你的话意味着一些东西你的信息

意味着一些东西我什至有时会

从我收到的来自

像人神这样的学生的信息中哭泣非常感谢你

给我这个机会

通过英语来触动某人的生活

谁会想到我以前告诉过

你所有的事情,当我在高中的时候,

我最不

喜欢的科目是英语不是

因为老师只是因为这

不是我的事我做得很好

而且我取得了好成绩但我喜欢 艺术

、科学和数学,但

快进到今天,我是一名英语

老师,就像我真的是一名英语

老师一样

,我要感谢你每周都成为我的

燃料

你的信息意味着

我想打电话 l 你是关于

我从你们那里收到的一些信息,

嗯,第一个真正击中

家的消息哦,击中家意味着

有点触动我或者呃就像可能

让我流泪

或者真的触动了我的心

我们说 hit home hit home um

a student man 这大概是两年前的

事了

所以对于那些

收到我的电子邮件回复有点晚的人,

这是因为我是一个检查我的

电子邮件的人,我收到了

数千封电子邮件,但我确实喜欢

风度翩翩,

所以无论如何这个学生给我发了一封电子邮件

,学生

说嗯 我会说他们是我是男孩

还是女孩,但

他们说他们在大学上学,

嗯,他们是一个年纪较大的人,可能

已经 30 多岁了,他们决定回到

学校,但他们住在 美国

,他们说压力很大,

因为英语是他们的 第二

语言 跟上课堂压力很大,

他们很难

写论文,这对这个人来说只是一个

压力很大的情况

,我理解,因为我再次

在韩国学习,

获得了硕士学位,一切

都是韩语,所以我觉得 他们的

挑战或挫败感

,他们说他们到了想要放弃的地步,

他们说那太糟糕了,然后他们

找到了我的 youtube 频道,

然后他们找到了我的 youtube 频道,

他们就像男人一样,

他们从我那里观看了视频 啊,伙计

们,他们不是坏眼泪,伙计们,他们很好,

,我的一个视频可以帮助他们不要

自杀 你认为你只是在教

英语,但你并不

抱歉伙计们,他们说你做的

不仅仅是教英语

,他们说在看了我的视频后

他们变得更有信心了,

他们开始做 在学校更好,

他们不想再自杀

了,因为他们因为

试图

在美国学习,你知道,

英语和他们的第二人生而承受的压力,再次

像学习第二语言并不容易,

所以当 我读了那封电子邮件

,我意识到等一下,我正在

教英语,

但是有人哦,这是另一种

表达,

嗯,从窗台上掉下来了,所以基本上,嗯

,从窗台上掉下来意味着你

即将做一些非常糟糕或有害的事情,

但你决定不 再做

一次

,我教你英语的一个或多个视频

可以帮助

不想再自杀的人我

说好的

上帝是的我在正确的地方所以这

就是我说你的原因 伙计们没有意识到

我是多么感谢你,

嗯,是的,所以这只是

第一条消息,我就像

我告诉我的家人一样,我就像我只是

在教英语,

但是当你收到这样的电子邮件时,你怎么

能 不想起来

早上就像我每天

早上起得很

早现在实际上是早上很早这就是为什么我的

声音有点不同

但是你怎么能不想

早上起床和

熬夜 当您

知道自己正在做的事情可以帮助某人

获得更多信心以实现他们的目标时制作视频

,甚至对于某些人

来说,他们获得了如此多的信心以至于他们

不想再过自己的生命

这就是我做我做的事情的原因

和我要再次感谢你的

留言,现在

我又收到了一些信息,他们没有那么

情绪化,嗯,

但如果那个学生在看,

只是意识到你感动了我

,然后你帮助我继续前进,

因为又一次

就像在 youtube 上当老师一样,

这是很多工作,

但是当你有像你这样的学生,他们

会欣赏正在完成的工作

,他们从中受益,并且

获得了更多的信心,这会让你

像我一样快乐 每米 或者

我开始为你们工作并

制作视频,

嗯,这些不是坏眼泪,

这些是快乐的眼泪,你知道我

只是被你们感动,

嗯,我有学生给

我发信息说老师 你的视频

我通过了面试,找到了一份更好的

工作,可以照顾我的家人,我

就像男人

一样,我只是在办公室里录制这些

视频,我和相机,

但有人的生活发生了变化,我无法

停止,

我可以” 不要停止为你们制作这些视频

我有一些讨厌英语的学生

他们就像我讨厌英语老师我

不喜欢它

但现在我真的很喜欢

早上起来学习因为你的

视频

我的工作只是 帮助你获得

信心 我觉得然后

我有学生

说他们可以 做其他事情

,他们正在学习的不仅仅是英语,他们正在

学习更多关于生活的知识,

向前迈进,保持乐观,

老实说

,你们发给我的信息

以及他们如何让我感觉自己是一个

人,这真是太疯狂了,

嗯,所以 再次

感谢您每周观看

呃感谢

您抽出时间来支持这个频道

它让我知道我几年前做出的决定

呃全职做 youtube

全职和 youtube 这并不容易,

因为你知道你的观点

一周上升,下一周下降,

一切都在波动,所以每周我都在

研究,想看看我如何能

更多地帮助学生,我如何

能更多地为你和几个星期的

视频 观点很好,有些星期

他们很低,

你知道这对 youtuber 来说并不容易,

但是

你让它成为一种快乐你

真的让我很高兴每周都这样做
