Good-bye thank-you




I am so thankful for the opportunity to come and live in the Sierra and work in both schools here.
I want to thank the staff, students and community of Siles for being extremely warm and welcoming me into the community and making me feel at home. This has made my time here very pleasant. So patient and flexible, the teachers have given me time to adjust and grow as an assistant. The students here are very keen, many coming on their own time to practice informal English with me. You all have been patient with me as I learn Spanish and always willing to try speaking in English. Furthermore, you have taught me about not only about education, but about life, culture and values.
I have made many friends, had many conversations and created great memories of this little town.

Thank-you for a wonderful year!
