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

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.

It must feel good to know you made such a difference. It must be difficult to leave in so many ways...I hope all goes well for you and I look forward to hearing of your adventures.
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!
