Not only did I have to leave my friends but my first student teaching placement. Prek was exhausting but those kids wormed their way into my heart. I absolutely adore those children, and I'm sure I'll feel the same way about the students I am about to get in Colombia. The thing is, with all these sad goodbyes, I know it's temporary, and this is such an amazing opportunity. I have always wanted to teach abroad and have never been out of the country. I can't wait to experience so many things and see the world and grow in my relationship with God. The food, the coffee, the people, are all going to be so great and worth it.
