Hasta Luego!

University is officially over for this seniorita! We finished at St. Peter Claver a week ago now. The school really went all out with their farwells. They planned a lunch with all of the teachers, presented us with certificates and shirts, sang to us, and put on a full afternoon of entertainment performed by all of our classes. The kids performed traditional dances, recited poetry, and sang for us. It was very thoughtful. The goodbyes were tough. My kids followed me home on my last day, and they kept asking when I was coming back to visit them. They didn't quite understand. We made some good friendships in Punta Gorda, and fell in love with the town, so leaving was hard, but we had a great last weekend. We even got to one last punta concert! Overall the experience that I gained by doing my practicum in Belize far exceeds the professional development that I would have received in a Canadian placement. It was incredible, and I could not be happier with how it all turned out.

Right now the girls and I are in Nicaragua, on our way to Costa Rica for our last month of travels before coming home for graduation. Graduation will be sweet, but the real world is a little scary. Thanks for reading everybody. Hasta Luego!
