Mr.Tharp. The supporter.

Mr. Tharp is a remarkable individual—a great traveler, wrestler, hiker, and an excellent teacher. He was a true supporter during my exchange program. Having worked as an exchange teacher in India and Europe, he is well-versed in the complexities of crossing cultures. Together with his wife, Barbara, he took wonderful care of me and truly became a fatherly figure. He dedicated a lot of time to engaging me in constructive activities and introduced me to adventure games like Orienteering and Hiking. We had a fantastic experience at the North Carolina State Fair, and he took me to live sports events, performances, and important places. Some of my favorite memories include the black box rehearsal, the visit to the library, the wrestling match, and our Saturday brunch with the delicious strawberry waffles that I will always cherish. Additionally, the support he provided, such as taking me to Indian grocery stores and various other places, is invaluable and cannot be repaid. Thank you very much, sir, for everything you did for me, including the very useful gift of a TI-84 calculator.
