When regular’s mombao sits in on every class but never interferes with your teaching, only helps to keep the student focused and clarify your instructions if need be, laughs at your jokes, and always pops in to say “Thank you teacher, goodbye!” at the end

I'm out after 4 years. This company has made it possible for me to travel the world, meet my partner of 3 years, opened me up to working from home which I will continue to do, the Baobaos were aight too I guess. It kept us fed, in a house, and helped get us visas in Europe during the pandemic.

Between my classes I would often sketch. And sometimes during class if I’m being honest... Inevitably my students learned that I’m moderately ok at drawing and began to request pictures. For my rewards I began doing quick sketches for them. So here is the best of 2 years worth of reward drawings.
