Sad

Advanced English I - Culinary Arts Students - actually, this has been my most difficult class, but I still like them.

Intermediate English I - Graphic Design Students - They are a quite group of introverted artists, but overall great students - and very creative!
I'm feeling sad tonight. Here's a couple photos of my classes - two of my six classes. Next week is our last week of classes, then finals is the week after. But, next week is my last week with my students. I really have loved working with them, although they have also frustrated me to degrees unimaginable. I'm going to miss them. And, I hope I gave them something new...if nothing else, this is probably the first time in their life most of them have ever spoken face to face with someone from the United States (or any English speaking person at all) - sorta' funny when they study English their whole lives, and all the movies they watch, and music they listen to,  are from the US, in English, with Spanish subtitles. But to actually talk to us in person, this is probably their first time. I think they have found us interesting/fascinating (as we have them), and hopefully learned a little English too. I hope. Teaching is NOT a science. Sometimes I bet you never know the impact you have. But, I'm going to miss them.
