Krysta's MPI life!: Forever Friends

As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. For Adult English, the end sadly came last week. Haley, I and our students ended the course with a blow-out party complete with cake, freshly made hot chocolate with fig tree leaves, candy, cookies, cheese, and without fail, uncooked hotdogs. Yummm! But all in all it was a delicious, sugar-high party filled with story telling and bonding.

Each student received an Intermediate English completion certificate and a hug from Haley and I as a special congratulation. Words cannot express how much I loved teaching this class. Not only were they my students, but they were my friends as well. As I look back on this past year down here in Ecuador, I can truly say that the personal relationships I have made with my students and the community members in general are what I will always cherish long after I leave. Thinking about leaving this country is extremely hard but I will leave knowing that I aided our students in their pursuit to learning English and that they have impacted my life in ways I will be discovering the rest of my life.

And now, it is my pleasure to present the newest graduates of Intermediate Adult English!
