A suitable ending

Well, it has finally happened - I have now officially left Chesswood! Today was the last day of term and so now it is all over! It felt a bit strange at the end of the day, but I managed to stay composed all day and not cry. Impressive I thought, although I've been moving things out of my classroom for the last 2 weeks and so I guess that has made it easier. I had a beautiful card made by Barbara, which everyone signed - now that did make me cry when I read what people had written! I also look forward to using my digital photo frame and my monopod, which I was given as a leaving present.

It was hard to say goodbye to everyone, knowing that I may never see some of them again. I found it ironic (if that is the right word) that the last people I said goodbye to were Denis, Sue and Wendy - who were the first people I met as they taught me when I went there as a child! It felt as if things had been finished off and finalised properly. A suitable ending!

So....it's goodbye Chesswood Middle School, Worthing...and Escuela Bilingue Siguatepeque here I come!!
