After three and a half years, I've finally ended my career here at ILA. In a week's time, I'll be heading home, but before going, a quick look back at the years:
 |
| I started work at ILA in July 2013. In September, I transferred to a center closer to my house. Little did I know, though, that I would be it's one and only teacher. It wasn't until the following month that I was joined by these wonderful people. |
 |
| I learned a lot about myself that first year. And despite how crazy things were then (and how crazy I was for blindly jumping into them), I felt then that I was exactly where I was supposed to be. |
 |
| Over the years, people came and went, but a core group of us stuck together. |
 |
| Eventually I left the center too, but I stayed in Vietnam. Instead of teaching, though, I became an instructional designer and helped pave the way for a radically different way of learning. The work I did was some of the toughest I've done to date. |
 |
| I didn't give up teaching completely, though. I was lucky to have one more great class before I stopped teaching completely. |
 |
| In the end, even my final group of colleagues changed. For as difficult as things were over the year I worked with them, I have to admit that they all helped me grow a lot. |
Needless to say, between all the ups and the downs, it's been one hell of a ride. I struggle to even find the words to describe all that's happened.
And though few of you will see this post or hear me say it...
Thank you.
