Since the first, I believe this program are going to give me another bigger dreams for education in my country.

My coordinating teacher for SEA Teacher Program in SPUS, Sister Nicole, what a lovely person in the world, what I can say is I love you. All of the buddies, you rock guys!

One quote that I always remember by Paulo Coelho, one of my favorite writers "Be brave, take risks. Nothing can subtitute experience". I learned a lot, I made networking and had an experience that I can't never forget.
We left this morning at 9 a.m. and I left SPUS with a very hard feeling, some of my pupils and I cried right before I go. I know that's how life works. I need to work harder so I can comeback.
