Bonvoyage!!

 

I can't tell how difficult it is to describe how sad I am to be leaving this wonderful place.
When I got here so many years ago, I would never have realised how connected I would be to such a warm community in Bintulu.

Next week this time I will wake up in my new life, full of yet-to-be realised opportunities, and empty of your company... I will be in a strange limbo.
The teachers and students of SMK Bintulu has helped me through some difficult times, and shared the joyous times in yours. Some people judge their lives on what they do, others on who they are. I want my life to be judged on the friends I keep and the students that I have made, and how enriched I am from just knowing all of you.

I want everyone here to know that this place is the reason I have become the person I am today. I have learned everything that I needed to learn, and more, from this wonderful job; things that college never prepared me enough for. You could call it learning the hard way, but I still had everyone here to support and motivate me.

So... until the next time we meet, my very dear friends, farewell for now. And my dear students all the best to you for your up coming exams and for your future undertakings…..

To quote Shakespeare, who is a better word-smith than I am:

"And whether we shall meet again I know not.
Therefore our everlasting farewell take:
For ever, and for ever, farewell, friends and students!
If we do meet again, why, we shall smile;
If not, why, then this parting was well made. "
Thank you!!
