"Ms. Cobb, don't leave! Just tell your parents to move here!"

Yesterday was my last day at Hummingbird. It was a bitter sweet feeling because I've grown so attached to my students and all the people at the school, but I'm also ready to see all my family and friends back home. My kids were so sweet and were making me a little sad, because they just kept saying, "Please don't leave Teacher Cobb". One student made the suggestion of, "Just tell your parents to move here!". It was really cute. All my students wrote letters to me, and I ended up making a video of them all reading them aloud to me. Most of them said something along the lines of "thank you for teaching me", "I like your science" (because that's the first subject I took over), "I like your hair", or even "I like your shoes". They are so cute, and I miss being around them already. Here are some pictures from my last day...
This is for Amanda. Yesmina wanted me to take a picture of her so Amanda and I would remember her.

My kids and Ms. Morales also brought me lots of cool presents. Most will make great souvenirs!

I just got my flight check-in information via email from Delta... the time is here! By this time tomorrow I'll be on the ground in Atlanta! I'm spending the rest of the day packing up 4 months of stuff and then going to dinner with Caroline (my student who took us to St. George's Caye and who invited us to dinner at her house Wednesday) and her mother... Caroline insisted on taking us out for our final meal in Belize, or so her mother says. I'm looking forward to it though, because they are such a sweet family and so fun to be around. So, I guess that's it for now and probably until I get home. See y'all soon!
