You will be missed

Thank you and the best for you always!

Ms. Julia :)

The goodbye post

Dear Miss Julia,

You are a great teacher despite our differences. Despite all, I think you are a quality teacher, a teacher that really loves her job, a teacher that enjoys sharing experiences of life. I understand that sometimes you get upset with us because we arrive late to class or we talk to much or we complain about our absenses (me) haha, I overthink alot that's why my attitude sometimes is not the greatest one. Anyways I have learned that people are not perfect and puntuality is a great factor in our lives. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Thank you for those daily quotes and advices you gave us. I learned things in your class? Of course I did! I'm going to miss learing english this way. But I WILL continue to study the language. Hope your next students aren't as cool as we are, haha! Just kidding. 

Thank you always.
