Au Revoir

Once the invigilator asked us to put down our pen and hand up our paper, it seemed as though a huge load was lifted off my shoulders.

Though we had no idea on what to do immediately after our papers, my friends and I were pretty glad that the GCE 'O' level Examinations are finally over for us.

We heaved huge sighs of relief and sadness as we walked past the familiar buildings one last time. That moment was like a nostalgia for our school days, for the fun, sad, boring, angry and memorable times we had and shared.



I don't usually put names of teachers in this blog, for fear of being hunted down by them. Hahah. But today's post is entirely dedicated to them, and the non-teaching staffs, including the vendors. Because it's not only the teachers who teach us, but the other working adults there as well, who teach us things that textbooks do not teach. Let's just term all of them at Teachers.





Dear Teachers,

I would really love to thank you for all the time, effort and concern you put in and had for us. What I love about the teachers in this school, is that they not only educate us for the sake of our major examinations, but also for the sake of our well-being. All of you taught stuff that books did not have, and that was to be a good, smart, and responsible person. You taught us things like Respect, Independence, Resilience, Responsibility and even enabled us to built our self esteem as well as place ourselves as Winners In Life. You taught us how to make quick yet responsible decisions in Life, as well as motivated us to study (thanks to Mrs Kok for the "I'm Gifted So Are You" workshop conducted by Adam Khoo and his colleagues). Despite having your schedule packed with workload and family, many teachers gave up their time for us, and came forth to help the graduating students in every way possible. They even wished us well (on the Apple Tree). It was really touching to see these teachers give their all for us, despite not being related to us at all. I guess our school really proved that we are ONE BIG FAMILY after all.

Thank you so much for the all the patience, guidance, respect, perseverance and definitely the willingness to educate us and pass on all your knowledge to us.

All this have indeed inspired me to take on similar roles as you. I still do think that the students of the school aren't the WRStars. I think the staffs deserve this title more than we students do!

Goodbye Teachers, Goodbye Staffs, Goodbye Friends, Goodbye School!
