There will be many final thoughts about San Jose

Here is one with pictures. I took them last wednesday (almost a week ago!). That day, Lorna (the teacher I had been working with) and the fourth grade class through me and another volunteer (who I had never met and who didn't show) a surprise party! Their mothers baked cakes, brought icecream, and had coke. The class gave me a framed picture of one of the classes and thanked me for everything I had done for them. I felt truly blessed to have volunteered there.

I took out my camera to take a picture of the mountains, and got mauled by children instead. They love having their pictures taken. These girls are in third grade. Their homeroom teacher was Lorna's sister. Her name is Seidy. Seidy and Lorna shared their lunch with me that afternoon, when I didn't have one.

The Mountains with their Rain. It rained really hard that afternoon and thundered so loudly that the school rooms shook. The lights also flickered, and every time they would do so, the class screamed.
This girl was one of my favorites. Her name is Paola. She was always very happy to see me, and when I walked into the class room she would squeak "Laura", throw her hands into the air, and give me a hug.

I am going to remember the school most out of anything that I did here.
