"Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting. "
- Peter Pan
At about 2 in the afternoon last March 3 , 2020, I attended the closing ceremony at the third floor in the University Center at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. It was also attended by my fellow Sea Teacher participants, the buddies ,the Office of International Relations and Education, the mentors and the coordinators from the cooperating schools. Sir Ahmad hosted the ceremony. During the first part, one representative from each university delivered a testimony. I felt each and everyone's sincere gratitude. The mentors also gave messages to us the participants. After that , Sir Ahmad officially closed the program. We were awarded by a certificate and souvenirs. We took some photos. The program ended and I still can't believe it. I had mixed emotions that time. I'm happy because soon I will be with my family again but sad because I will have to leave Bandung. But, I was full of hope that someday I can return to meet again the people I met in Bandung. I was grateful because I gained a lot of new knowledge, experiences and new friends during my stay in the program. It was destiny that's why our paths cross and it may drift away for now but someday it will cross again along the way.
