Today we start our long journey home. It is a time of relief and sorrow. I will be glad to get back to my family and the city I call home. However, I feel a bit of sadness for the end of our adventure. This trip will be forever etched in my memory. The looks on the kids' faces, the always constant laughter, the growing bonds, and the sites and smells of all we have seen.
I would like to thank all my fellow teachers for their hard work and sacrifice. Especially, Mrs. Robertson, whose hard work and tender care made this trip a wonderful experience for everyone! I hope you know that we appreciate all you have done for us! (And for putting up with us!)
I want to give a special thanks to the kids. I never could have imagined that such a wonderful group of young adults could even exist. You guys are truly an amazing bunch of kids and I am honored to be your teacher! I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO DO GREAT THINGS! Thank you for representing us with class and integrity. (People took notice that you guys were a cut above the rest!)
Thanks to all the folks back home. It was comforting to know that we had a such a great support system and cheering section. When we were sleep deprived and tired of the bus, your words of encouragement kept our spirits high! Thanks for following along! We will post afterthoughts and more pics when we get back home.
Texas, here we come!!!
