The first last day

The bill is $110 for pizza. Almost as much as the two days extra pay received for acting as host to all the pizza parties. Each class starts with a toothy grin, “Who knows what today is??”

The first last day. The start of student goodbyes. The exchange of e-mail addresses and small presents and I’ll Miss You’s. Exchange stamps for photos of students posing with peace sign, hand out stickers and pencils for correctly answered questions.

Make sure all students know age and favorite member of Big Bang. Know who is the youngest foreign teacher. Give high fives as they exit the building.

Go home and answer goodbye e-mails.
