Karin

It happened two months ago. It was a cold, rainy day. The anxiety of the long moments of tune were pushing my thoughts hardly, almost compressing them.
I was looking forward for the feedbacks of my colleagues who had had an excellent opportunity the take part in a project reunion in Hannover, Germany.
It was like after a whole week I could still hear their scared, trembling and excited voices before leaving... “ Oh, I can’t wait!” “ I’m so nervous” “ I hope we will have fun” “ I’m afraid not to disappoint someone” these were only some of their thoughts I was remembering that day on my way to school.
I finally arrived at school like a robot, feeling deeply lost in my thoughts and making every step mechanically.
Arriving up in our class room I was shocked to see it empty , I didn’t know what was to follow... I got a little bit embarrassed for arriving that early but curiosity took over me and I had to rush to find out everything about the wonderful trip. What I didn’t know was that I didn’t get too early, instead our teacher had prepared us a surprise in the library.
I was waiting and waiting, but nobody came. After 10 minutes my teacher came and asked what am I doing there. Everybody was in the library waiting to start their story and to watch all of the photos taken.
Now that was a surprise! None of us knew that our teacher would also show us pictures during our colleagues explained us their experience.
The photos were lovely and hearing our colleagues was like being there.
Watching and hearing everything almost made me feel bad for having let such an opportunity slip through my hands... but I also was glad for them. Lucky them!
At the end of our class I felt very well hearing such amazing stories and seeing so eye-catching pictures. It was great for me ... imagine what it might have been for the ones involved...
