:( Leaving the nest ... A post with a lot of I(s)

I am pretty sure no one will get to read this, but I feel a little nostalgic over not being able to be a teacher for a while.

I recently made a decision to leave Colombia to follow my heart, and although it feels right and I am very happy,  there is this one piece of me that is forever staying in my native land.

I miss the sweet smell of coffee and guava trees at the university, six days a week for over six years I got to know the old trunk of a tree where I sat with my friends and told each other stories. I shared a million smiles and a few tears. I saw children become teenagers and teenagers become adults. I even saw people become  bilingual.

EAFIT taught me to be a teacher, a student, to love, to listen. I always knew it was a great place to work, but now that I look back to it I think it was THE BEST place for many things.

I became a woman there, but I also learned to embrace my inner child instead of just letting it go, like other professions or other paths require it sometimes.

I am forever grateful for each one of you and for every lesson that my life as a teacher has provided.
