My Final Visit :(

This past Monday marked the last time I'd be visiting my school for the semester. It was probably one of the saddest days of the year for me as a whole. While sitting around in my dorm room I didn't really know what to expect going into the day. Were the kids going to be sad to see me go? Did I accomplish my job as a tutor? Did I teach these kids anything? I mean for the first time all semester I was second guessing myself as an educator. Now I know this isn't a good thing, but I was nervous that now that my time was up I didn't do enough. It was a definitely an unfamiliar place for me to be in. Anyways the time finally came for me to go to the Cosgrove School. Since it was my final day I decided to get a little extra spiffy for the kids. When I walked into the school it was very melo being the first day back from vacation. I said hello to the secretary at the front office for the last time along with the Asian paperwork guy. I said hello to the reading coach and she was saying that whenever I wanted to come back or needed more volunteer hours where to find her. She also murmured a couple of compliments and wished my luck in the future. After this conversation I made my way up the stairs to the classroom where my kids were located. When I got up there to my surprise they were working with another tutor in the hallway the same place where we had worked. I recognized the tutor because the week before I had showed her how to conduct the activities. So I sat down at the group and watched them work. They smiled at me while they were competing the task at hand. I just sat quietly while they continued to work and here or there I would talk to the tutor about the lesson. It was odd not being the one conducting the activity but for the first time I got to see the kids work and instead of worrying about everything, I just got to see them work. As time went on the kids played a vocab game and I played with where we had some laughs. One girl sang single ladies by Beyonce and umbrella by Rhianna. It was probably one of the funniest things I've heard all semester while tutoring them. Slowly, minute by minute my time as a tutor with these wonderful kids was coming to an end. Eventually that time came and I had to leave the Cosgrove School. I went into the classroom to talk to the teacher for the last time discussing her son going to college next year and she wished me luck in the future. After the disposition sheet was filled out I said thank you and high fived everyone in the class. One girl wanted me to touch her book because I believe she had a crush on me so I thought that was cute. Once I left the classroom it was time to say good-bye to the kids I had tutored all semester. One girl came running up to me as I left the classroom and gave me a big hug saying thank you for helping her get smarter. Then the boy came up to me and gave me a big high five while saying thank you Mr. Mike. It was extremely sad to say goodbye and it was even sadder because one of the girls was absent, so I couldn't say bye to her. I left the Cosgrove School that day being grateful for the opportunity I had to tutor the kids. Well that's all from me...See ya
