The Final Day:
7/22
During the last day of class before the closing ceremony I was the head teacher of the class because Alex was occupied sorting books. Every year on one of the last days we have a water balloon day in PE class. I continued that tradition. After polling the class on which game they liked most, we divided each grade into Sharks and Minnows and Soccer. For the second half, we ran wild with water balloons. What always starts as a mild water balloon toss, ended up, like usual, as warring chaos. To other teachers: I apologize for sending wet children into your class. The QiaoQi kids loved our class today and I’m happy that we made their day.
With this year and my career as a teacher coming to a close, I am filled with a bittersweet feeling. Teaching the children here is heartwarming. The tangible impact that we make on their lives is amazing and has drawn me to return, year after year. I have loved seeing the students grow over time into the people they are today. This trip has changed me, just like how Jim (from 5th Grade) has progressed from a eager but stuttering 3rd Grader into the incredibly outgoing and competent camper he is today. Over my years here I’ve learned self-reliance, leadership, and, obviously, a lot of Mandarin. I’ve grown from the self-conscious 7th grader into the man I am today. And so it’s with great sadness that tomorrow I will say goodbye to this camp for the last time.
To Mrs. Lee and everyone who helped make this dream come true: I eternally grateful for everything you’ve done. To Kathy: ACE could not run without your help. To the current QiaoQi Campers: it’s been an honor to be able to return and help teach you guys one last time. To Alex: you’re the best roommate I could ask for. To Mrs. Gonzalez: good luck running this trip next year, I hope it’s even better than before. To ACE’s first years: I love ACE and it’s made a huge impact on my life. I want this program to live on. I charge you, the future veterans, with continuing our traditions and this program for years to come. We’ve accomplished amazing things so far and I want nothing more than for ACE to strengthen with time. It’s been an honor to be a part of something so impactful these past years. It’s on you now, first years, you must make this carry on. This is my final post.

I need to read poems right about now I need to hear music right about now I need some inspiration right now Somebody, anybody pick me up off the floor right now I need to get down on my knees and pray right now I need to beg for forgiveness I need to feel Gods arms around me I need to feel somebody, anybody's warm embrace right now Hug me and don't let go please Hug me tight enough to mend together the broken pieces I need peace right now I need sleep right now Because thats the only time the pain is forgotten I need fall into a deep slumber only to awaken on my tear stained pillow instantly reminded of the pain all over again I need to talk to somebody but who cares Why do I care You said you cared for me Guess that went out the window with every memoir of me Of us How could you I need you to care for me Right now Just for a second To ease the pain I need to hear the words, fall out of your lips Those forbidden lips That forbidden fruit that i ate. So foolish of me. Now i see how Eve could have been so naive. Its so easy to be fooled by a snake, when dressed up in disguise as a lover, as a friend. How could you? How could I? Be so stupid Be so in lust Now im writing this. I need you to hear me right now. I need you to hear me screaming right now. But you cant hear me your too filled up with thoughts of her probably. Listen up man! My heart was empty, deserted, barren. Then i planted flowers in my heart for you, I had to water them with my tears for you. And when i handed you the flower, I watched you give it to somebody else. I told you jokes, only to see you smiling with somebody else. I opened myself to you, I gave you all of me. You gave her half of you, Which was most of me, since you held my heart under your arm. Wait...slow down... Where are you going? Come back I need my heart back right now! See now the flowers I planted for you, Are going to flourish in her garden. And now the words in this poem, dedicated to you, Are going out the window Along with every memoir of me Of you Of us. I need my song back right now. I need my words back right now. I need my heart back, with all of its scars and bruises. I need my God back, I need my peace back. Where are you going?
