I taught some incredible young minds while I was teaching English in Istanbul and some of them have kept up with me since leaving. For the first time an ex-student of mine flew into Brussels and we lunched together in a frozen city centre - minus 2 yesterday.
I had the new Canon EOS and couldn't resist asking permission to photograph him before the cafe filled up with the lunch crowd. He's a lovely guy - fluent in Turkish, French and English, savvy in politics and working towards a career as a musician.
It was good to catch up on him and his world.

Lovely photo - he looks happy.
This young man looks like he is a joy to be around, and you were so fortunate to have him as a student. He looks happy, as paris parfait said.
He was very gracious about the photography session actually :)
I think that is surely the best of being a teacher, seeing the potential of these amazing people come to fruition.
