Farewell

This entry is about my farewell. It was really sad to say goodbye to the students I was with. I am sure I will never forget their little faces and how they made me feel today when they ask me not to leave. I had the chance of saying goodbye to all of them, to take pictures and to thank everything they did for me. I also told them how wonderful was for me to meet them. Moreover, I am really concerned of what will happen to them, and if they will learn as much as they can. It is so sad to say goodbye after you have started loving every single one of them. Next Tuesday will be really strange for me because I will not go to the school and I will miss them. But, I think next Thursday will be worse because I will really miss them. It is sad to think that probably I will never see them again.

About my teacher, I really hope she understands that teaching it is not playing or something easy to do. I wish she could understand that if she plays, she is playing with the lives of little people. I do wish her the very best and I am sure I will see her again. I hope she gains the experience she lacks, so she can improve her practice.

Although it was a good day, I think it could have been better. I had imagined my farewell so differently because I had heard my classmates speaking about theirs. I thought it was going to be similar to what my friends had commented. As always, you set your expectations. My expectations for today were high, but nothing happened. I thought the kids were going to write letters for me, but they didn’t. I also thought there was going to be a little goodbye party, but there wasn’t. In addition, I thought my teacher was going to give me a present or even a letter thanking for all I did for her during this term, but she didn’t. I felt really bad when I left the school with empty pockets. I only have good and bad memories, but it would have been so nice to have letters to show everybody and to read when I felt nostalgic. I guess life is like this and you have to accept it. Anyway, I knew the kids were not going to do the letters by themselves, but my teacher should have encouraged them to do it. She didn’t.
I have learnt so many things and I have met so many beautiful creatures in this experience that I will never forget it. It was the first time I wore a blue apron, and I felt like a teacher. But after observing different situations and teachers, I think I lack so many things that I am just not ready yet. Presently, I am looking forward to my new experience in a new school and I am sure I will learn a lot of new things.
