The complete team for University Service Learning, meets biweekly to discuss issues and upcoming deadlines. This past Friday was our very last meeting of the semester. I have been very sentimental in leaving my internship that I have been at for 2 years. This Friday morning meeting was just another "last" for me to feel sad about.
At the end of the meeting, one of the individuals that I manage got up and started singing a Justin Bieber song with changed lyrics that revolve around me. Others joined her and danced in front of everyone giving me my very own flash mob. Then they delivered to me a scrap book with all the children that I work with. Each child had written me a note.
I lost it. I cried and cried and cried. It is so wonderful to be appreciated, and hard to leave a job that I love.
Aw. I would have cried too! It sounds like you got really close to your co-workers and I find it always hard to say goodbye. Glad you had such a wonderful experience though. I'm sure it will stay with you for a lifetime.
