woo-hoo.

finally, after an arduous journey, i am going to teach my last day in school. thank God. what a journey. ok, i know i always complain about what monkeys i teach who dont seem to comprehend anything i say, BUT i really think i will miss teaching them. most of them la. :) so even though they will never see this, and god forbid they ever do, i still want to say this

to those with a teachable spirit, continue to grow in that, it will take you places. never let knowledge puff you up, keep keeping your feet on the ground.

to those who seem to run on eternal batteries, ever-enthusiastic and eager, bright-eyed, let that positive energy influence your friends, keep going! :)

to those who are quiet, deep thinkers, dont compare yourselves to your friends, dont lose that inquisitiveness, passion and sense of wonder for life.

to those daytime air castlebuilders, keep dreaming (but not during impt lessons). dont forget, Einstein was also a dreamer.

to the dare-devils, who thrive on challenging teachers to their limits, may your sense of adventure and boldness not bring you trouble but lead you to do things normal people dont even dream of doing.

to those who are mature beyond their years, loosen up! let go, have fun! you are only young once.

thank you all for making me believe that I can speak in front of a crowd and not want to put my head in the ground, that i can be interesting if i want to :p thank you for toughening me inside when i have no choice but to scold, correct and discipline. thank you for your sense of wonderment when i show you snippets of the this awesome blue planet (i dont care if i reek if geekness, hah) and beyond. these 3 months have been filled with ups and downs, trust me, many times i want to just give up, but thank God i didnt. thank God i got the chance to teach these little things, to experience something bigger than myself.

go out into the world with gusto!

love,

ms tan. :)
