the final day

Today was my last day at Garvanza Elementary School. I was busy up until the last minute cleaning up the room and filling out the necessary paperwork. My students have been telling that they will miss me all week. Even the boy with the attitude problem started being all nice and polite. We were okay until it was time to leave and then some of the girls started crying. I just couldn't hold it in anymore and ended up crying with them. After the kids left, I said my goodbyes to co-workers and that was hard too. They told me to visit and keep them posted on my life. It hasn't really hit me yet that I won't be going back to work. I am feeling relieved and a little melancholy.
