As we come to the close of what has been a grueling summer, I would like to take a moment to say thank you to my colleagues: Dr. Whitney Sarver, Ms. Nicole Miller-Beckman, and Ms. Sarah Warfield. Without the three of you, the summer would have well and truly been a chore. I would also like to say thank you to our wonderful students from Ecuador. What can I write that I have not already said in person? It was wonderful to face your smiling faces every morning and you made it a joy to be a teacher. As I have said, I was humbled by your steadfastness and your desire to learn. No matter the task, you faced it with a aplomb and only a minimum of whining! I will never forget your collegiality and the ways in which you cooperated, day after day, week after week. I wish you all the very best and would be honored to watch you in practice as English teachers in Ecuador. Your students are blessed to have you as instructors, mentors and guides.
When we look at the blue sky, we will always remember Lexington, and the University of Kentucky, which opened up a big blue world for us. Our hearts and minds will be forever blue, and we will be forever wildcats.

It is amazing how time has flown, and now I am here so excited because I will see my family too soon, and so sad because I have to go far away from Lexington and from UK University where for seven months I felt at home and where my dream as a teenager came true. Here I have had the opportunity to meet wonderful Ecuadorian colleagues, and marvelous American people that now are my friends. My time in class was really amazing and challenging; I could use all my English Skills and polish them by all kinds of strategies and activities my dear teachers used in every lesson. All my teachers are now a rich source of inspiration for both my personal and professional life, and they can take it for granted that everything they shared in class I will try to use with my students in Ecuador. Also, I want to express my appreciation to the directors and all staff of the CELS department of the UK University, responsible for Go Teacher program for their permanent support. THANKS SO MUCH, AND GOD BLESS YOU FOREVER
You are going to grow emotionally because you are living in a new culture. We are not just learning English, we are learning a new lifestyle and culture. We will transmit these things to our students. Carla Cadena
