Today was my last official day at Lesley English School.
It was hard.
One of the most emotionally difficult things I have ever done in my life. I worry that I didn't have enough time with them. I worry that I will forget them or that they will forget me.
I never imagined that someone could love their work this incredibly much. I have loved working at Lesley English School and Kozakura Kindergarten so much. I have put my heart and my passion into working at these wonderful schools. I cant imagine being more happy at any other place in the world. I wish I could express whats in my heart to you all, but words just cant express it.
I have grown here. I have grown because of my job. I have made friends for life because of my job. I have learned the blessings of children because of my job. I have learned patience and understanding because of my job. I have learned what it feel like to actually teach someone something because of my job. I have learned culture, Japanese, and teaching because of my job. I have learned so many things I cant even think of them all.
I cant believe I will never see my students faces again. I will never laugh with them. Yell at the top of my lungs with them. I will never do something crazy that makes them laugh that whole hearted laugh. I will never yell and get angry at them (in the "I know they can do better than that" sense). I will never learn from them anymore. I will never help their cuts and bruises or ease their insecurities. However, I will miss them and think of them often.
I'm so proud of my students and I wish them lots of luck and good blessings for their futures. I hope they accomplish every goal they set out to accomplish. I hope that they understand how much they have meant to me. I hope they never forget me the way I will never forget them.
OK... time to cry myself to sleep now. Good night and Good bye.
