First of all it's been a great honour to be in Kieran Donaghy's plenary talk and presentation! He shared with us so many interesting ideas, I owe him A LOT (My lessons wouldn't be the same without them)
The Pecha Kucha event... well... what can I say?
It was a frightening experience (LOL)... No, it wasn't, although I froze for a moment and I was really nervous... I have never spoken in front so many people in my life!! What I said come from my heart (although I think I was the only person who spoke about personal experiences)! A big thank you to all who came and congrats to all my other co-presenters!! You all made a difference in this!
What made a real difference this year is that I met my dear friend Vicky Loras again face to face. She has been a real inspiration for me, a friend, a supporter, a mentor, somebody who has been encouraging me again and again...
A big thank you for your mention in your plenary presentation.
I knew she was going to speak about me, but I hadn't actually realize that she values me so much....
Vicky words are not enough... You made me cry from happiness... Thank you...
I have to apologize though, because I couldn't go to everybody's presentations. It's not that I didn't want to, it's that I had to write reports for the TESOL Macedonia blog and I was assigned to different rooms!!!
I have to thank my dear student Eleni Vasdoka who dedicated her whole Sunday to help me with the interviews and the pictures!! You made the difference dear...
Another person I would like to thank is my partner in crime, Jo Psarra, for co-operating and for your hard work and support. (BTW, Spread Literature into the world was a big hit! Congrats)
My experience as a roving reporter was exhilarating.... Although I was running around all the time, I had so much fun.... Guys, I am going to do this again, that's a threat!!! :P
All in all I'd like to thank the board for giving me the chance to challenge myself.
Now that everything is over, let's plan our next endeavors...
