Some of my pictures are not masterpieces of photography. This one is a mistake in backlighting and motion. The emotion, however, is clear. We've had a wonderfully rich experience together. The progress in language and cultural understanding among this group has been palpable. Some leave class today asking how to find a way back for an even longer stay in a country they've grown to understand and to love. Equally important is the emotion we feel upon leaving each other to go on our separates roads back home and then on through life. Dr. V. and I are especially proud to have been here with an amazing and gifted group of students. |
