A Wright State University graduate who has been teaching junior high school students in Japan tried to reassure her pupils when they experienced earthquakes and aftershocks, she told the Dayton Daily News in an email Sunday.
When the quake struck, “I went over to the students to make sure they were all calm and chatted with them to try my best to put a smile on their face,” said Lauren Koors, 26. She has been living and teaching in Saku City in Nagano Prefecture since 2009.
“I even jumped up and down a few times in a naive, ‘oh, isn’t this fun?’ kind of manner. The student curled up in a ball under the sink didn’t seem amused. After about a minute and a half of shaking, some of the students’ faces turned ghostly white.”
