We´ll Miss You, Joaquín

This year, in January, at St George School, I met a sweet boy called Joaquín, in “Summer School”. The first time I saw him, I asked him “What´s your name?” and he answered me “My name is Peter”. So, I called him “Peter” every time. Once, at break time, I told him”Peter, don´t do that!” and his teacher told me “His name is not Peter, his name is Joaquín”. Then, I asked his mother about that and she told me that the name “peter” was because of “Peter Parker-Spiderman”, that is his favorite comic. It was so embarrassing and funny. Later on, I noticed that I would be Nursery Bunnies´ Teacher, and he would be my student. I was so happy because he is a good kid.



Last April his mom told me that they had to go to Colombia in May. So, Joaquín won´t be with us anymore. It´s so sad.
Now, remembering every time I was teaching him, I smile a lot seeing him with his Spiderman´s mask, playing with his friends, singing the school songs or playing “Twinkle, Twinkle” on his piano toy.
I want to share with you his sweetness and his funny moments.
