Romantic Love: Ms. Tran has taught me the value of silence and quiet in a relationship. That was always a very unsettling place. With Ms. Tran, she’s making me trust the quiet, since she recovers with silence after teaching or a stressful day. In a simple way, that is a huge thing for me: just being able to trust the quiet with my partner because it doesn’t necessarily mean that anything is wrong. She’s someone I feel comfortable in silence with. Sharing that silent space with another person is something that I’ve never done comfortably before until now and I wouldn’t be able to do that if she wasn’t a part of my life. - Jason Mize (English)
