Last Day Blues
Well yesterday was the last day and it was a lot harder than I anticipated it would be. Saying goodbye to all the students who I had become so close with was so very hard. They each made my partner and I cards and I received a hugs from each students about 3 times. my partner and I went together to get a few books for their classroom, a new pencil equipped with an extra eraser for each student and a new stapler for our co-teacher (we may have been to aggressive with her old one and caused it to break). Over all I loved this experience. I connected so well with my co-teacher and each student I really felt like I belonged in the classroom. I already have a day scheduled that I am going back to volunteer in my own time. I know that my co-teacher is someone that I can go to with anything and she will be there to answer any questions that I may have. This is a chapter in my life that I am sad to be closing but I am so excited to see where the next chapter will take me.

I know exactly how you feel, I was disappointed to leave. I got some hugs as well, I also might consider volunteering too, or even visiting. When I left all of the students asked if i'd come to visit sometime in the future. I know, our pencil sharpener was junk as well, once a custodian had to come in and fix it. Good to hear that you had an influential experience!
