03 if you work with kids

The vacations are over, and you can get lazy for comingback. Back to your routine, back to you project, but notall is bad, you can be so happy for see your kids again (ifyou work with kids), see how much they have grown inthe summer, look at their happy faces and how muchenergy and enthusiasm they have for come back andlearn more. It's also trying to find one of your kids in themorning and don't find him or her because they chanceschools.

June is my last month living in India, and that make mesad because I think that I need a little more time to knowthe whole India. This moth have been different from theother months that I have been here. I have the luck to

spend my birthday here and it was different that how Iused to have my birthday but it was amazing also, Ispend my day with the kids and they were really happy

also for being with them, some of the kids gave somegifts and it was really kind of them. When the school wasover I went to one of my kid's house that was amazing Ispend a really good time, we play, we had delicious foodand the most important was that we were happy.

It is really difficult to say good bye to India, to all thepeople that you met, to the kids that you know.
