5:30 PM ; Saying good-bye is hard to do
Hi class,
Its really touching to see that all of you feel so strongly about 2/4. I know I have already given a speech on Thursday, but I'm not quite done yet. I really wanted to take time to thank a few people on Thursday, but this is for all of you.
Its difficult to say goodbye, and for me, it is difficult to let go. I often feel like a mother of 40. I worry about your attire, you all getting into trouble (some more so than others), some of you getting distracted by BGR, grades falling, etc etc. The list goes on. But above that, I have come to feel attached to all of you as my form class and my 'kids'.
I still remember the first week of school, orientation week where everyone didnt know everyone else. The boys shy, the girls a little awkward. Over the months and years, I have seen you all blossom. The boys so much taller and man-like. The girls prettier and more self-confident. I am very proud of you. Each of you my little men and ladies. As individuals and as a class.
For being so outstanding. The many many many best class awards stand testimony to this. I lose count of how many teachers telling me our class is very enthusiastic and how they wish they had a class like mine. Yes, i too think i am very blessed to have a lively bunch like you all. We certainly had fun together over the past 2 years. Never be afraid to be yourself. If you ever feel discouraged, remember, Let the world feel the weight of who you are, and let them deal with it.
I hope i had the chance to write in your little books my thoughts towards each of you. The little book is meant for each of you to remember how special you are, and, have been to your classmates, to keep as a memento. I apologise for neglecting some of you over the past 2 years, some of our classmates needed more of my attention due to circumstances. I really do think the world of all of you. In your special way, each of you have contributed to these 2 years being one of the most eventful in my life. I hope all of you have left 2E4 as stronger, more mature and more confident people for that was my aim when i saw you in 2007.
As we take the time to prepare for the new year, all of you will be going to seperate classes, but I hope what we have experienced and learnt in this class and as a class make you better people and stronger individuals.
Love Miss Choo
p.s: Looking forward to the BBQ ahead! Please invite other teachers too.
