So today marks the last day of classes. It’s a pretty bittersweet feeling that I have been experiencing all week. On one hand, I’m happy to report that all of my students passed their class (YAY!), and grades should be coming out for other classes shortly, as well—hopefully their students did just as well. It’s been good getting to know the students better and having more meaningful conversations, but it’s also been a little sad since I don’t know when’s the next time I’ll be able to see any of them. The students here are very sweet, and really appreciated having us come all the way over from America to teach them. At dinner with my class on Wednesday, my students told me that if I failed any of them, then they would know that I would be back next year because I wanted to teach them again. heh. We’ll see.
Long and short of it all, I’ve really enjoyed the last 5 weeks. The last half week will be a good time to wind-down and really be able to reflect about this trip. It’s been such a blessing.
