Almost all of my entries have been positive and up beat, so I apologize in advance for this one. I was very sad about leaving Honduras and no matter how I tried, I couldn't put a spin on it.
I had planned to stay in Honduras for a couple years, if not more. And I've never been a person to walk away from a job, especially one I love. Unfortunately, however, with distance during family illnesses, personal safety concerns and dealing with a school administration that does not value their teachers or students, I had to reconsider where I was needed most. I know it was one of the most difficult decisions made during my relatively short life thus far. Ultimately, I was offered a job working with working with children and families back in the states, where I could be closer to my grandparents, whose health conditions at the time were pretty precarious. After weeks of agonizing over what decision to make, I decided it would be best to return to the states and be with my family.
In hindsight though, it was the right decision and I definitely made the most out of the time I
was there, especially in my job. I had a blast the last month I was there working with the fifth graders. It is amazing at that age how much they grow up in just a few months. For the fifth grade, section A kids...hmmm...young adults who are reading this now, I am very proud of all of you! Thanks for teaching me so much about being a teacher. You were my favorite part of Honduras!
For anyone else reading this....I will let the pictures tell the story of the last few weeks I was there.
