Yesterday started with TNKR Special Ambassador Cherie Yang getting interviewed on TBS eFM radio about her new YouTube channel. It would have already been a big day if we had taken the rest of the day off.
But we didn't!
This, of course, will alarm my number one cheerleader, Eben Appleton, who wants me to continue saving the world, but she is also always worried that I'm not getting rest and not socializing enough.
He first made this video for TNKR back in 2016.

TNKR Special Ambassador Ken Eom dropped by the office to talk about various things. He may be helping TNKR with some outreach at the end of the year.

As TNKR co-founder, am I allowed to be a fan of a student? She is so energetic, happy, eager to learn, she can't stop smiling. I am sure her tutors and mentors will love her! She wants to study, study, study, every word or sentence is a learning opportunity for her. Whichever part of TNKR we talk about, she wants to join!!!
Update: We later wrote Greenlight to Freedom together.

We have many people who contact us saying they want to help us develop TNKR. but in many cases they want us to adapt to one of their ideas or theories without considering the context of what we are trying to do. Rare is the person with a specific skill who comes to us, tries to figure out what we are doing, then adapts his or her skills to what we are actually doing. He learned about us from one of his professors, then he went to the KOTESOL conference to meet us.
If we are successful, this little project which we hope to start in February will strengthen TNKR's programming and make the experience more effective for students.
