So we just arrived at the training center in Pantoja after a long drive back from the east. I definitely feel good about the things I did back in El Seibo but I am glad to be put into a new site. There's rumors that there are going to be 4 volunteers placed in the East. 1 actually back in El Seibo. As much as I liked El Seibo, I hope it's not me. I would like to be placed in a completely new site where I can start fresh. I think I will definitely miss my Don, he expressed his sincerity in missing me, my Doña was another story. Haha. Oh well. But what I felt the best impact I left was with the jovenes that we worked with. The jovenes were really nice about everything and their presentations were awesome. One joven even gave me a sacred necklace to keep with me during my journey in the Dominican Republic. It's the virgin of Altagracia (Or something like that, I am so bad…) but it's basically the equivalent of the Virgin Mary in Mexico. I thought it was a really nice gesture and I definitely will keep it close to me whenever I need it. She's such a sweet girl. I really felt like they learned and it was definitely a good experience to start off my teaching career. 

So I just found out that I am going to be working here at a liceo which is basically a school computer lab. Interesting! Monday I will find out exactly where in the country I will be placed. I would love to be placed in the mountains but I will take whatever they give me. I am very excited! I just hope all the kids don't beat me up and throw me in a trash can or something. Haha. Somehow I see them picking on me and beating me up. Haha. Wish me luck. Tomorrow we will visit the PC office to get more info on working in a liceo and all the stuff I have to do.
