Almost leaving... our last school day here at ACS. It is going to be hard tomorrow. So many exchanges experienced before this one, Mr. Jassak and I knew this would eventually happen.
Yesterday, when I advised my Spanish students to start packing, some of them told me they wished they had spent more days here (instead of going to N.Y. City!!!)
In planning our trip to USA, visiting N.Y. city was theri main interest, now they all would prefer to stay with you longer... therefore we can conclude that this exchange has been a success.
If the Spanish students had guessed that, they would have not been so anxious and uneasy before arriving here. Now that you have gotten to know each other so well, you won't be so concerned next year when you come to Spain.
We all wish you could visit us before, it is going to be an eternity waiting for you to come!!!
Attending Arkport Central School has been a pleasure for all of us. We thank Mr. Lock and Mr. Hoose for allowing us to go to classes and for meeting other American students and teachers.
Teaching the 5 and 6 years old some Spanish words and songs has been for me one of the greatest moments in the trip.
We have had a welcoming party, Easter celebration (Egg Hunting included) Hallowing, Thanksgiving and a birthday/farewell party this evening.
We visited Niagara Falls and had a nice meal at The Hard Rock Cafe. Also, Corning Glass Museum, where we created our own flowers, courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Simpson. Mr. Simpson also showed us the Architecture College at Alfred State University. Special thanks to Mrs. Alice Wheaton, so enthusiastically teaching Spanish there, and to Mrs. Wellington who took us there.
Our appreciation to the therteen families who have hosted us these weeks and have made us feel at home since the first moment. You have become our true dearest American families.
As for all of the students, just to tell you how brave, caring and kind you have been to take this risk. I wish you could say now that it has been worth doing it.
It will take us time to digest this experience. So much we have enjoy, so much we have learnt.
We have tried to understand each other. We have shared our ideas and opinions...
We are creating a better world: The world is one family

I miss everyone already. and it has been less than one day. =[

Well, two days have passed since you all left and everyone is still so sad! Almost everyone said that it felt strange not having a "shadow" with them all day.

It is always amazing to me how quickly the bonds are created on trips like this. Twelve days seems so short, yet the friendships that are created often last a lifetime. I realized this, again, when Maria Jose showed me the Power Point that Olaya created for me. It was an update on the lives of the group that came to the US 8 years ago. What a thrill it was to see them all again and to hear about the great strides they've taken in their lives. It brought me back to those days at Guilderland High School and made my day a special one. You will never know how much that meant to me. Thanks a million, Olaya!

I wish I could express the gratitude I feel towards the American families who took an emotional risk in participating in the first-ever Arkport exchange. It is never easy to be the first to do something and the families have been an example of what the exchange process should be like. The trip's success is solely based on their participation and generosity, both of which were greatly demonstrated over the past two weeks.

I must also commend the students involved. It took a great deal of courage to welcome a stranger into their homes and all have handled the situation perfectly. I could not have asked for a more positive experience and I owe a great deal of that to the kids.

Finally, I want to tell you how much of an influence you have all left on our school. I now think that our students see a need to continue their study of Spanish; there is a reason to learn it now. That is one of the most sought-after benefits of a trip like this and we have been successful in fostering that growth. I only wish for more of that as we move forward with this exchange.

We now have a one-week vacation to get back to normal, but we will continue to feel a sense of loss for not having our "family members" here with us. It will take us a while to get used to life without you here with us. We can only hope that your absence will be short lived. Besos mil a todos......
