Home sweet home!!
This post is going to be about my personal thoughts about this weekend. Reports on professional presentations will follow during this week.
Every time I go to Athens, I see that every Convention is becoming better and better.
A big congrats to the TESOL Greece board for organizing this event, for their valuable help and a big bravo to all these wonderful volunteers. Without you guys I don't know if everything would go so smoothly.
This year I have spent the whole weekend at the convention - I tried to see as many presentations as possible. I have to say that I have gained a lot, learned a lot and met some wonderful people.
Some people surprised me pleasantly, some others not so pleasantly, but... that's life, we can't get along with everybody...
This year though was different.
I felt that I belong somewhere. I felt team spirit.
Everybody was kind to me, but I really have to give a shout-out to the Thessalonikians, who stood by me, supported me and were there for me. It felt like I was with family. Thank you so much for everything (you know who you are!!)
I have decided not to write anything about the plenaries, everybody attended them, they were broadcast live (and I am sure there will be recordings at the TESOL Greece page). I am going to focus on the individual presentations I attended and on the people.
I am also going to upload my own presentation soon (for those who weren't able to attend)
Take care
