That's a wrap folks

That's it. All finished. Yesterday, at 3:15 pm, my career as a Rockies English School teacher came to an end. It felt bittersweet, saying goodbye to my students and fellow teachers. There have been plenty of rough, difficult times, but so many good memories too. I will miss it here. Some of my students have emailed me already, which makes me soooo happy! One of my favourite girls has emailed me twice and it is just the cutest thing ever. Seriously, tears started to well up. Here are her two letters:

 

 

 To;Amanda
       Hello,Anmanda.I'm Cathy.I miss you and Idon't want you to go back to Canada.When you go back to Canada,I'll E-mail you everyday.When you go back to canada,will you miss me?I love you,Amanda.I will miss you,dear Amanda.I will study English harder and one day i will go to Canada and visit you,ok?

 

 To:Anmada
last night,Idreamed of you.we went shopping together.We bought many things.We were very exhausted,so you went to my home.My mother gave you the cookie,tea and some friut.you were very happy.oh!what's the matter?oh!I have to get up.What a pity!!!

I have some question ,can i ask you:where are you living now?(in dalian) why do you want to go back to Canada???

 

Is that not the sweetest thing??? She's 9 years old and she wants to be a diplomat. Crazy!

 

Anyway, I can't bear to write anymore right now. My keyboard is still behaving badly and the top row won't work. I am using an on-screen keyboard and it is taking a million years for me to click out every damn letter individually. Never has a blog been so painstaking or time-consuming.

those emails are the sweetest! Saying goodbye to the children is always the hardest part. Nice to know that you\'ll be able to keep in touch with them.Take care.

there\'re also some foreign teachers in my college,they teach English,economy and some other subjects,they are friendly,open-minded and a kind of humerous.we talk freely,just like good friends.We Chinese students will always welcome teachers from all parts of the world.Good luck to you!
