Final Reflection

FINAL REFLECTION

Workshop IV was a wonderful and enriching experience for me. This is so for many reasons.

Firstly, this Workshop gave me the opportunity to put all the theory I have learnt throughout these years at the TTC into practice, which was a real challenge for me.

Secondly, being in charge of a course of adolescents, 4^th year, for two months was great but demanding.  Although I first suffered a lot because they were very quiet, then I learnt to work at their pace and I ended up the intensive practice period very satisfied, though relieved as you very well know.

Thirdly, observing my classmates in action was very fruitful not only because they were in the same situation as I was, but also because I could profit from them too.

Not to mention the online tools I was introduced with and I had tried. I would not have known them if it had not been for this Workshop Teacher and my classmates.

To sum up and for all the reasons previously mentioned Workshop IV as well as the intensive practice period are part of a memorable experience and all the people I have met during this term will be always present in my mind for the rest of my life.

I would like to share the following final message with you all:

Goodbyes are not forever.

Goodbyes are not the end.

They simply mean

I'll miss you

Until we meet again!

I wish you all the best!
