Update Part 2- The Heartache
This is the second part of my super long update.
I had to deal with the heartache of leaving my school. For those who aren’t aware the high school that I worked at was the first teaching job I ever had (in Korea and outside). So although it was a rough school and not the best situation living wise, I am very attached to my students and fellow teachers. Safe to say that it was an emotional parting.
I had told my students before the break that I was leaving our school but I don’t think it really sank in until my last week. After coming back from Canada I taught my last week totally jet lagged, but it was important to me because that was my last time teaching each class (I had 17 classes which I saw only once a week). By the time my week was finished I had said my final goodbye to my students and took pictures with all of them.
On my last day I only stayed for 2 hours before I had to go to my new school to meet the principal and sign my teaching contract. During those 2 hours I gave my co-teachers gifts I made for them and letters I wrote expressing my sad and thankful thoughts, took pictures with my co-workers, met and hugged some of my students, received letters from my students and a gift of lovely face products from my co-workers. I almost cried and broke down a little on the bus to my new school. I’m so very thankful for the wonderful co-workers I had and the experience at my old school.
