From a little acorn

Last winter in Kameoka I found an acorn. I took it home, put it in a plant pot and forgot about it. But recently it started to germinate and has grown some leaves. This reminded me of the English idiom:

"Great oaks from little acorns grow"

The meaning is, from a small start you can create something big. For example starting to learn a new language begins with the first word.  If you start a new business, you have to start with small steps, but there is the possibility that it will grow into something big.

For this weeks class, think of something that you started with one small step and has grown into something big in your life. Prepare to tell the class about it.
