Saying goodbye......

This is the hardest time of the year.  Everyone has grown to love and appreciate each other only to be parted.

It is bittersweet. The students are so excited to go home and tell of their adventure and see their families and friends again but sad to leave all they gained behind. Some are also nervous of the changes that have occurred to them and back home - will things be like they were, will my friends and family think I am different now, will school be harder, will I wish I was still in the US?

The families are excited for the students to go and continue on their life path and have new adventures but heartbroken to let them go. Young children sometimes don't understand and wonder when they will came back home.

It is my job to prepare everyone for this. Its not easy...
