Today was my last day! Though it is sad, I think I had come to the point where I'd gotten everything I needed out of the experience. Maybe it hasn't totally hit me yet that I am done working, because I have gotten into such a routine. Tomorrow will be weird! 
 I wrote letters to all of the teachers with whom I worked plus Adrianna and Traci. The teachers in 101 gave me a really sweet gift:  a plaque that reads, "Where we love is home, though our feet may leave our hearts do not" and a journal. I have been so thankful for their friendship this summer.



I am hopeful about staying involved at MOBC because what goes on in that place really is making a difference. And they need help to do it! These people are dear to me.
At the beginning of my fellowship I felt like I wasn't exactly sure of my purpose because I did not count in the student-teacher ratio. Leaving now, I've come to the conclusion that my purpose in the ELC was to help as much as possible to make everything run smoothly and promote a positive environment, because I know it is so hard for the teachers to do it alone.
I have also realized that no place could have been a better fit than MOB. They gave me the chance to work with a range of age groups, which is exactly what I needed!  I thank the Lord for blessing me with the perfect place for me. I will end my last blog post with an insufficient thank you to the Turners. This opportunity is so rare and I realize that most high schoolers in the world can't find a job where you can earn a scholarship, enjoy the people you're around, and learn a ton. THANK YOU!
