The Farewell Party...1

Chapter #1: The brilliant Idea & shopping for presents!

It shocked me knowing that there are a lot of teachers who are leaving by the academic year! I wanted to do something for them but I had no idea what! At the beginning of May, my friend and bus mate K approached me with an idea. “Why don’t we make a farewell party for the teachers who are leaving?” I loved the idea and asked K to count me in. We then asked some of our friends if they want to join…in no time, we were 10!

We got busy during May but we were talking about that party from time to time. In the last week of May, we put a full outline for the party. K and I were in charged of the gifts. The girls wanted me to buy presents for the Male teachers and K for the female ones. So during the weekend, we went shopping.

Dad was with me and I told him about the party and everything! To my surprise, Dad started to help me finding them! The main thing which was in mind was buying neckties! And after going though a lot of hardships, I succeeded on that! It was really hard choosing the colors. I was afraid that my friends might not like it or the teachers as well.

We planned to wrap the gifts on Sunday but we cancelled coz the girl who was suppose to bring the wrapping papers did not feel well in the night before. The thing is that I brought the presents with me that day. The girls LOVED THEM!! At that very moment, they were voting for each gift and for whom it should belong. K brought the presents in the following day! They were amazing! Pearl necklaces but not ordinary ones! No! The pearl is inside a shell which should be broken in order to get that pearl! Then it should be placed inside the necklace!
