I have been in the SMS Kiva club for 3 years now, and sadly it is time for me to move on. I am leaving our school and moving on to high school where I hope I can continue to use the knowledge I have gained from Kiva club, or even start a new Kiva club.

I have learned so many great things, and met so many great people, and made so many new friends in the past 3 years.

I learned how lucky we are to have everything that we have because many people don’t have the opportunities that we have here in the United States. I’ve met teachers and students from British Columbia who wanted to start their own Kiva clubs. And I have made many new friends, some who have moved on to high school, and some who just started this year in 6th grade.

I have had so many wonderful memories. From my first loan, to my first post. From my first time walking in the door, to the last. I just don’t want the experience to end. I wish that I could stay longer to see the hard working 6th graders blossom into their full potential.

I also want  to say thank you to our teacher, Mr Ferriter, for giving me all of the great memories and experiences throughout the past 3 years.

I just don’t want the memories to end.
