Yesterday was my last day to be with the regular colleges students as well as the Basic Education Department. So I took the time to go and visit each of the Basic Education classes and thank them for making me feel so welcomed here. The first class I went to I was fine, nothing wrong. It wasn't until I went and visited one of the freshman classes that I began to cry. Madame Rose in the student development center has a niece that is a freshman. She is probably the only student that I have any kind of interaction with in the SDC. She came up to me and just began to cry and that made me start crying. The rest of the classroom visits were really hard. The students were all very supportive, telling me that they love me and that they will miss you. I will definitely miss them all as well.
Part of the intramural's was an acrobatic show. The more I think about it, the more I realize I don't think I have ever been to an acrobatic show. Most of the guys that were in the show probably had some kind of gymnastics training. The strength they had was incredible. I had to hold my breath in certain situations because I was afraid that they could possibly fall, but come on they are experts. At times they were accidentally screwed up on purpose to make the crowd laugh. It was a very fun show, I also got to see tight rope walking, never have seen that before. After the show I did go backstage and thanked them all for the show. Kind of glad I was able to experience this before I left.
Last night was the night that I said goodbye to the college community. I thought I was going to be emotional, but I wasn't. I was actually stronger talking to them then I thought. I got from a group of students "We love you Brother Kevin", which I greatly appreciated. Other than that it was a great night with some great entertainment by the students. I am really going to miss this place.
