The farewells continue...


As mentioned in a previous post, my buddy and colleague Aaron will be leaving Okisho this month. In fact, today is his final work day. The kids absolutely love him and have been showering him with attention and gifts as he prepares to move on to his next job, in Tokyo. It is no wonder, though, that he is so popular - he's such a dynamic guy who brings positive energy to each class. I have been blessed to team-teach with him over the course of my first 3.5 months at Okisho. Here is a picture of the "Humanities Department" English staff... at least the ones who work together the most. From left to right: Aaron, Trevor, Yukiko and Kenney. Together we form a unique blend of personalities, teaching styles, and senses of humour. Last night was a fun way to cap off a successful start to the year. Tonight, we will be holding another farewell party for Aaron, as well as two other departing American teachers, Chad and Beth.
