los ultimos dias en mi escuela

My last two weeks at school were insanely fun. We played and played and played some more. We sang kareoke in english, threw the frisbee (for hours), danced, and exchanged plenty of love and laughter. I am going to miss these kids like crazy. Im amazed by their energy, how they have progressed with english, and how they have positively affected my life. They are all little treasures.

Maybe my students didnt learn a heckofalot of english, but i think that my presence in the school brought out many smiles. It's more important to me to know that i have made a difference in their lives. maybe some will speak english fluently in the future. but many wont.

I wanted them to walk away with knowing one thing: that miss corissa believed in me.

Many students asked me to write "recuerdos" or memory notes. Yes, i always preach "keep learning english" but also...

follow your dreams.

because i did, and it lead me here.
