Today was my last day at work at the Carlson School for Cerebral Palsy. I started working there around mid-march, and spent most of my full days there. I became really attached to all of the students and staff, so today was a sad day for me. I was good all day, and then at the end of the day when we had our actual goodbyes, I had a bit of a cry.
My class threw me a party, where they fed me amazing new zealand meat pies, sausage rolls and pavlova...I was given a one-off shirt from a new zealand company, a greenstone necklace, which was picked out and blessed by Maoris in my school, and a bottle of wine. My card is amazing, with pictures of the kids, some of our favorite activities and so many nice words. The next BU student that gets to spend time at Carlson is so lucky to be around such amazing people.
My last day (tomorrow), I have a massage practical final...then I pack up and move out on saturday morning. I had a great time here, and although i'm happy to see everyone at home, i'll miss New Zealand and the people I met here sooooo much!!
