Farewell Speech . . . I Hate to Say Good Bye

Tweet

This is our last Monday on this place. We attended the Flag raising ceremony at the covered court of the municipality at exactly 8 o’clock am. After the ceremony, we went up the stage for the formal turn-over of documents to the honorable mayor (head of municipality). Each of the members of the group rendered his/her thanksgiving and farewell speech to the crowd. When it came for my turn, I cannot really control myself to become emotional. I said I am both happy and sad. I am happy because despite all the struggles and problems that came along our way, we were able to make it through the end. Sad, because I will surely miss them. I also pointed out that with my 3 months stay on this place, I learned a lot of things and I can say that I was able already to adapt to their way of living. Generally, I can say that I was blessed to be assigned here because the people are very supportive and accommodating. They all laugh when I mentioned that one of the greatest things that happened to me here is when I discovered my talent here in their place. . .dancing. I use to think that it would be hard for me to adjust to the people of this place, little did I know that saying goodbye will be harder.
