Leaving XHIS is starting to sink in... The arrangements Kevin and I made to visit our new school in Beijing school has made me realize that we have 17 weeks left here in Xi'an.
I had a reflection of what my life in Xi'an like, now I'm realizing that I really have good things to be thankful about.We came here when my son was just 4 months old. He's now grown into a sweet, playful 4 year old boy.
I had good memories here in Xi'an. We gained friends who made us want to come back once in a while. A friend came to see me in my office, we talked about us leaving. We both realized how different it was when we first came here, we had full of energy, always looking to start new projects to make the school successful. We were helping each other and literally trying to survive with all the resources we've had. We had smile on our face all the time, happy with our accomplishments, contented. "Where is this woman with all the smile in her face? Where is this person who were once referred to 'a darling of the school' by previous co-workers?", she asked. "She's gone long time ago when people around her started to take the smile away from her", was my reply.
One thing that I'm really thankful about is now, I'm slowly getting my smile back. It's not that I care less because we're leaving but there is someone out there looking after us. A situation where when we're becoming a person we don't want to be, opportunity will come along to have a fresh start.
I'm moving on, we're moving on and now I'm starting my count down.
