I was absolutely thrilled to see them all on tv, like seeing old friends. Being happy for the success of people you care about made it all have even more emotional impact, if that is possible. Seeing their delighted, triumphant faces, touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes. They really deserved this outstanding success after working so long and hard. I also hope that my students watched it all, I told them often enough. Several of my students are in different parts of the world now for the summer. I teach ESL, and some went home for vacation; to Hong Kong, to India, and to Puerto Rico. I hope they were able to share the excitement wherever they were.
