I remember my first day
and I'm sure I'll never forget the last of this great trip and this company,
TTPL.
Right now I'm very happy
and very sad.
A great happiness
for go back to those I love, I miss my country, the food, everything.
A great sadness because I
met new people we had become, friends, especially in my workplace.
I met a family so good
that made me feel the first to the last second like I belong has always worked
on it and actually become so important to me that you can call sister, mother
or father.
In a way the people here
are very different from my country and for the better.
I shared so many smiles
and stories here, I lost fears, improved my English, I met new places.
After this experience I
will really miss all, I have got used to the food (but other students I met
here do not like it).
The distance from home
was a little less difficult because one year ago I had a similar experience, in
my country, but at 6 hours away from my home and far away from my family for 2
months. It was not so difficult in question of language, because it was the
same, not like here.
I am fortunate to work
for this company, for me is the best and would not to change it. The working
environment is very good and nice, students can adjust and work well because
colleagues help us in everything we need and explain our daily tasks and
support us with interest in our wellbeing. They talk with us, are animated and
fun, are friendly and competent, and always offer a real smile.
I will not forget the
laughter of my colleagues, the smiles, the open the door, the questions, the
worries, the way to be, everything.
This overcomes the major
travel and great distances.
I do not know exactly if everyone
will miss me, do not know if they will remember me in a few years, because I am a student amongst
thousands, but I'll miss it here and will not forget.
I leave a bit of my heart
on this earth and I will come back one day.
