Last Sunday was my last tutoring session with Astin. I did not expect to get so attached while tutoring him these last few weeks, but it was genuinely sad that it was my last time. I kept my promise in making this lesson fun. It was far more relaxed than his other lessons. We went over new vocabulary, and we did some more of his favorite word-searches. We also reread one of his favorite books, and I focused on pronunciation and complete understanding, because he does not have trouble reading this book. After our lesson was over, to our surprise, Astin and his mother had some small presents for Erika and I, and thanked both of us for being his teachers. I can describe this as the moment that made me excited for what I have set out to do. Astin genuinely was going to miss us, and said bye so many times. Seeing that impact I had made on his life was tear jerking, and it was very rewarding. I think it was a good sentiment for the last session. I am ready to go do this abroad!
