My students at EXL (June 2009) sang this for me on our last day together.
I left them alone to review for their quiz. The moment I left the room, I heard them scuffling about. Definitely not reviewing
. I knew they were cooking something up. I didn’t know how long they were waiting for me to come back but eventually, somebody called me in. I came in and there they were standing in a corner of the room lined up like a choir with lyric sheets all ready for their surprise.
Halfway through the song, each of them walked over and gave me a long-stemmed rose one by one…..I couldn’t get myself to cry…that is until now….
*** The kids singing could have been on video but cameras were not allowed in the center.
The 15 days wasnt enough to know a person but for that short span of time we were blessed to have a person whom we thought we knew for a longest time.I know I wasnt good at saying goodbyes but as I saw her looking at us in the Taxi, I got teary eyed.It was an experience…I assure you.We wont fail you.KUdos
