Marta Gomez, the director of the school, took to the podium and stated the following: “Maria Dolores is where everything comes.” After spending three decades at the Lucena Rivas canyon, seeing hundreds upon thousands of teachers pass through the classrooms (some better than others), and after hearing the complaints and claims of thousands of parents, and after many vicissitudes, it is possible to feel calm because you have done your job with diligence and efficiency. She said that if we could highlight any of your virtues we would emphasize your discretion, your poise, and your availability.
“But, as they say, all things come.” Retirement is the final stage in any career. You have now crossed the finish line and can feel satisfied with your journey. Always ready to listen and with a smile on you face, and with predisposed attention, The long-awaited vacations are waiting for you when a course is over. It is time to enjoy the moment. This is how you can view this time in your life as a long vacation. You can spend time with your family, walking, or traveling. You will feel a little uneasy after a’school season’.

We want to pay you the respect you deserve. Without you, no one can replace your presence. We already miss you. Maria Dolores, thank you for your understanding and willingness to take responsibility, your friendship, and your affection. We will always remember you. We wish you all the best as you begin a new phase. Enjoy the story, it will only last two days so don’t get too frustrated. Marta Gomez concluded by saying, “May luck and strength be with your!”
