PIRF VIP students might benefit from this!! This is something I made for my VIP PERSONAL students! Here are the lyrics: Courier Kerry’s Curry Carrier Once upon a time on a Navy career day, There worked a courier named Kerry, they say. And this Kerry was known from the deck to the bay For carefully carrying curry the perfect way. Yes, you could say that Kerry’s curry Was carefully carried, never in a hurry, Never cold, never burned, never wrong — Just colorful containers all day long. Well, the demand for curry climbed and climbed, So Kerry carried containers of every kind. On Career Day, right across the carrier, Courier Kerry carried curries like a warrior. There were also Corey, Karen, Curtis, and Carl, They stood on the carrier and began to cheer and call: “Look at Kerry carefully carrying Colorful curry containers across the carrier!” And every courier checked the current schedule with care, Corrected careless errors that shouldn’t be there, Confirmed each customer’s curry order twice, Made sure every carton and card was precise. But Kerry never carried cold curry, Never burned curry, never the wrong curry. Because Corey constantly compared every card, Every carton, every curry label — hard! Thereupon the courier crew celebrated their careful work, Congratulated Kerry (they didn’t even smirk), Encouraged every curious customer standing near: “Come back next Career Day for more delicious curry here!” Yes, on the Navy carrier on Career Day, Courier Kerry carefully carries curries the careful way. Corey, Karen, Curtis, and Carl cheer, While Kerry carries colorful curry containers year after year. And the courier crew keeps checking, correcting, confirming with pride, ’Cause careful curry carriers never let quality slide. So if you’re curious and craving that curry so fine… Come to Career Day on the carrier — Kerry’s curry line!

It's hard to put into words how much appreciation I have for Coach Shane. It's not even been a year since I joined DDM, and it's been about four months since I joined VIP PERSONAL. Looking back, the progress I've made and the knowledge I've gained are things I truly owe to him. VIP PERSONAL isn't just another English course. Coach Shane goes incredibly deep. He doesn't just teach English—he changes the way you think about it. More importantly, he broadens your perspective, not only on the language but on learning itself. I know I still have a long way to go, but without his guidance, I wouldn't be where I am today. To borrow a line from the song: "YOU SAVED MY BRAIN." Every class lasts 3–4 hours, and he teaches the entire time without taking a break. You can genuinely see how much heart, passion, and energy he pours into every lesson. It's inspiring, but at the same time, none of us would want him to sacrifice his health or burn himself out. Coach Shane, your students need you, but more importantly, we want you to be healthy. Please take the time you need to rest, recharge, and come back stronger. We'll be here waiting for VIP PERSONAL in November. And to anyone who's not in VIP PERSONAL yet, let me give you a little nudge: join it if you get the chance. I've taken many English courses over the years, and I can honestly say I've never experienced anything like this. It's on a completely different level. Coach Shane, you know I'm not usually an emotional person, but these words come from a place of deep gratitude and respect. Thank you for everything you've done for us. ❤️
