Hi, this is a little video for my third of SO students. I just wanted to take this small

2
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:16,559
opportunity to say I guess farewell for the summer. I definitely miss not having the opportunity to

3
00:00:16,559 --> 00:00:23,660
say goodbye in person, but even being able to talk to you guys for a short while over video

4
00:00:23,660 --> 00:00:31,800
is something that I will definitely cherish. I just wanted to say thank you for this entire year.

5
00:00:32,060 --> 00:00:39,659
You were all so welcoming and so attentive, so motivated, and just passionate about some of the

6
00:00:39,659 --> 00:00:46,079
really challenging stuff that we were talking about this year. In the beginning, when I started

7
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:50,700
working on Global Classrooms and even just thinking about like what material we would have

8
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:57,659
to discuss, how much we had to go over, um, and all of the things that were on our plate. I was

9
00:00:57,659 --> 00:01:04,159
definitely overwhelmed. I didn't really know you guys that well, and I wasn't sure, like, how in

10
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:12,400
the world are we gonna do this? Um, but day after day, you guys stunned me with how intelligent you

11
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:18,340
were, with how focused you were, with how willing you were to just, like, sit down and really listen

12
00:01:18,340 --> 00:01:27,719
to all of the complicated material and digest it, just really process it, and make sure that you

13
00:01:27,719 --> 00:01:33,280
really knew what was going on. You guys caught on to the vocabulary super quickly, and it was such

14
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:40,180
a joy and privilege to see you guys come into your own as Global Classrooms delegates, to see you

15
00:01:40,180 --> 00:01:48,019
be so confident in sharing your opinions with one another, even if someone disagreed with you,

16
00:01:48,019 --> 00:01:54,299
to see you hold your own, and to see you ask questions that were so well thought out, that

17
00:01:54,299 --> 00:02:02,219
were so organized, to see you guys really develop opinions and stand on your own as students was

18
00:02:02,219 --> 00:02:08,960
such a joy. I am really, really thankful for it, and honestly, Global Classrooms was absolutely

19
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:17,500
one of my highlights this year. I wish you all the best summer with your families, hopefully,

20
00:02:18,020 --> 00:02:23,939
I wish you all health and happiness and safety throughout this summer. I hope that you're able to

21
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:27,460
enjoy some of the smaller freedoms that we have now

22
00:02:28,580 --> 00:02:37,379
and I absolutely look forward to seeing you guys as fourth of SO students next year. Until then, bye!
