So, as I'm sure most of you may be aware, I'm quickly approaching my last few days in Uganda. Friday was my last day at ISU, and it was really hard to believe. The students made me feel so much joy for having been able to be there teacher for the 3 months that I have lived here. On the last day, the homeroom teachers surprised me with a combining of all 3 homerooms, sat me in the middle of the room, and had the students tell me all the things they appreciated about me teaching them. It sunk in, really deeply, that I'm in the right profession for me.
Below are the photos from my last day. The last picture is all my girl students surrounding me to say goodbye.
Also, another important note to make, is that I celebrated the American holiday of Thanksgiving in Uganda. It was actually really nice to share a part of my culture, as apparently, us Americans have one. I spent my time with the girls of the guesthouse that I am staying in. Below are those pictures.
Happiest American in Uganda, yes, I think I totally was. I got me some pumpkin pie. A little slice of home.
To be honest, my last few days are making me homesick. I know that I will be home very shortly and I think after 3 months away, I'm ready to be back. The last few days are memories that will stick with me forever.
Thank you to everyone here in Uganda and at home for everything.
Georgia you are on my mind.
