Saying Goodbye!

Time is such a strange phenomenon. My time in Sayulita went by faster than I ever thought possible. I had the most amazing time and had a hard time saying goodbye to all of the wonderful people I have met.

Saying goodbye to my students was the most difficult. I wrote each of them a letter saying thank you and goodbye, and included a picture of us as a class. They loved the letters and had their own ways to say goodbye to me. The day was filled with lots of hugs, goodbye letters, and even goodbye songs that my students wrote for me. The day was so precious and unforgettable. I usually don’t cry in front of people, but I did get teary eyed multiple times throughout the day. I am really going to miss CVIS!

On my second to last night I stayed up late

writing goodbye letters to my students.

The teachers also put together a going away party for us. It was a very Mexican get together. We gathered at Costeños, an amazing Mexican restaurant right on the beach. We talked, laughed, and shared multiple 7-liter margaritas (seriously, only in Mexico). The party didn’t stop there though. Another teacher hosted a late night pizza party at her house. Almost all of the teachers, and even some parents showed up. It meant a lot to me that they were all there to celebrate our last night with us. I could not have asked for a better community to have done my student teaching in. I love Sayulita, and WILL come back someday!

I can't believe something like this

actually exists. Good thing we had

20+ people to share with!
