Today was my last day in Newcastle. I have a day full of traveling tomorrow. It's bittersweet, really. I've come to enjoy the presence of my host family and the staff at the school, but I am glad to be going home and back in the same time zone as my family and friends.
Erina and I presented to the entire upper-level staff and leaders of the school in a really good, quick example POL. I hope our example will help them perfect their POL's which they're planning to implement next September. I'm really happy to see that we've made an impact and have helped. The staff have been so passionate and eager to try our ideas and I really hope everything works out for them.
When I get home, I can't wait to share all my stories, candy, and experiences with everyone. I'm really glad I took the opportunity to come here and that I pushed through a little bit of homesickness. I won't miss the cold, but I will miss the charm of England.
I would recommend this internship to everyone, as both an educational experience and a personal life experience.
So thanks for all the chips and tea! Hopefully I will be back at a later date to share this culture with my family and friends.
