Hannah Is Back

 She came back yesterday.  I'm so happy she's back and even happier that she had a good experience.

Friday was the last day at the school, so the class had a little goodbye party for her.  She cried saying goodbye, this is the first time she has cried saying goodbye,  she graduated elementary school, junior high school and high school and never shed a tear.  One month with these kids she was crying!!  The homeroom teacher that she worked with cried as well.  They wrote messages for her, one kid suggested that she stay until they graduate, and another said that she liked Hannah's English accent and wants to sound like her.  They all expressed their gratitude for the lessons she gave and for spending time with them.

I'm so proud of her, she worked hard on her lesson plans, was courteous to the staff, spoke with confidence to the kids and this was reflected in the lovely messages she received.

I think she realized that running a home, even for one person takes planning and it's not always easy.  She was lucky in that the area she was staying in had shops nearby so she could just run out in the evening if she had forgotten something.  Towards the end she had figured out when to shop and that menu planning was important.  

Friday evening she and her friend who was at the same school went out to eat and to do karaoke.  She had fun.
