Time truly does fly. It was hard walking around thinking it was time to leave this place. Definitely a bitter sweet goodbye or rather see you later. Spain has taught me to enjoy all moments, especially the little ones. Spain has taught me to relax and that worrying will never change the outcome. Spain has taught me the beauty in diversity. Spain has taught me so much that I can never say thank you enough. Spain will forever have a piece of my heart!
I am hoping to return to visit next year. This year has been filled with ups, downs, and many smiling faces. I am so blessed to have had this experience and made some life long friends along the way. Along with this is also a little fear of returning. A lot has changed while I have been gone for the past two years and a new journey is about to begin, starting with a job and apartment search.
My students were so sweet and had a tough time saying goodbye as well. I helped my sixth grade classes choreograph dances for the end of the year show that I will not be present for but wished them the best.
You might not notice at first, but in the picture below I am actually in the front row. So many of my students are taller than me!
The class below is a fourth grade class and they were phenomenal! I learned just as much from them as they hopefully learned from me. Although I am currently pursuing teaching positions at more the fifth and sixth grade level, I think fourth grade would be wonderful too.
I had to move out of my apartment a few days early and some friends too me in. They threw me a little goodbye dinner with friends and family. We got really close over the year and couldn't have asked for a better send off. We made some delicious paella!
This was my last of many cooking lessons. The next morning they drove me to the bus station and wished me well as I continued on my journey.
I am a bit sad to say this is the end of my journey in Spain for now but I the next will not be any less exciting! USA here I come!
