Saying Goodbye

Today was my last day at the special needs school.  Three new volunteers started today, a young girl just starting speech therapy in Pennsylvania, her dad and her grandfather.  They were so overwhelmed by the center and the day and it reminded me of my first few days there.  It is hard to believe I have been there for almost five months.  It was nice though to be able to teach them what I learned during my time there and everyone looked to me to translate for the new volunteers.  It was a little sad to say goodbye to all the kids and the other therapists and workers.  It is amazing how quickly you get attached to people.  I received hug after hug and even some kisses from a few kids.  I will miss those people a lot and hope to keep in touch.  This is just the first of all the goodbyes.
