Today, I...
saw sorrow on my students' faces as they said good-bye to Alanna. In two short months my own parting will be the cause of those tears.
missed whipped cream.
realized I am going to miss watching the sunrays spill out of the sunset I soak in every day as I walk home from the bus stop.
learned that Carmen, the cook in Carpio, is one of sixteen children in her family. Her aunt had twenty-two kids.
smiled when my girls belted their hearts out as we presented Alanna with the songs I had taught them.

Hola.
After graduating from Anacortes High School in Washington in June 2009, I decided to fly south and work in the slums of La Carpio, Costa Rica for nine months instead of heading straight to college. I ate lots of rice and beans, saw God in homeless faces, and taught math and typing to at risk teenage girls.
I learned more from them than I can ever hope to teach.
