Replacement

Replacement

How should i say it without sounding bitter or hurt? I do not know...

There is this sense of loss, of hurt that I actually feel that I am being replaced...

Perhaps the original intention was to give me a good rest and not to replace me...

I will never know and I do not know if I want to know...

Maybe all this is a lesson on letting go...

From nurturing them to being on great terms, I am proud and honored to be with them...

But it seems that they have found someone better to manage and coordinate...

Well, maybe it's time I finally take a break to go back to my own cultivation and to do what I desire...

Regardless of all this, I am still thankful for everything that I have now...

My College GP Teacher

My College GP Teacher

I have kept this letter that you wrote to me all this while. In my entire schooling life, you are one of most respected teacher. There is a sense of familiarity between you and me. Perhaps like what you said, we are both idealists...

You have given me the chance to try and be a leader, you saw the potential in me... This letter is like the encouragement hug that I will want to have when I am feeling down... I see the passion in your eyes in wanting to give us more than just purely education. You went beyond your role as a GP teacher, you attempted to insert creativity in everyday boring GP lessons. You won our hearts and befriended us, giving us the respect of a young adult that most teachers neglected to give us...

Despite the discouragement you received from the older generation teachers, you never gave up. I was very glad when I saw you still teaching in that same old college, the place where you felt its warmth and its familiarity.

Thank you for helping to mould my character into the person who I am today, for giving me courage and words of wisdom that will continue to be useful for the next ten years. May you be well & happy always!

A Teacher's Words

A Teacher's Words

Wisdom, Hope and Love
Always want these things for your Life

Because I am human... I have favorites. I don't practice favoritism but I do have favorites.You are one of them. I suppose its because I think you are an idealist like me. I watch you in every class activity, even when you are quiet and I see your enthusiasm, even boldness in having a desire to lead. I wrote all your autographs with the hope that they will still be relevant when you read it again ten years down the road. So this is my advice to you: - Read the book ' Tuesdays with Morrie'. Its about a young man and his old teacher and the things he learns before his teacher dies. In the book lie years of built up wisdom, the greatest treasure that I wish for you. I pray that you store and build a foundation of meaningful values, so that when you begin to lead in the future people will continue to trust you and see a stability and clarity that they would want for themselves. I have tried every way I can to build each of you up, to teach you that life is only worth living if you live, love and serve others. As leaders we do not try to impress, we empower.
