farewell letter
Dear all
Well, here we are. End of May again.
End of the school year again. Only this time a different May for you our third
graders, your last days at junior high school. Some more lessons, final exams
and off you go.
It’s hard to believe that our time
together in the classroom is over. The fact that we won't be meeting in the
classroom with those giggles and chuckles that I always used to scold you all
for during the attendance, makes me sad. However the fact that you are going on in your life
makes me glad.
There seem to be so many more things left for us to learn from one another...but I know that it’s time to send you on your way.

You're off now to bigger and better
things. In a few short years, you'll say goodbye to high school and hello to
the rest of your life. I am so excited to see all the amazing things that
you'll do, and the amazing places you'll go. Wherever life takes you, I hope
you remember to live fully and enjoy every second of the moment you're in.
No matter what enjoy life, dear
students. Enjoy the time you have here. Make the most of it. Don't wash it
away. Laugh daily. Love each other well. Sacrifice for others. And never give
up on your dreams. Because if you think you're too cool for something fun or
you think that you're better than someone else, you're really just hurting
yourself. You're stealing your own joy before you even get to experience it. Be
a kid. Live a life of fun and adventure. Support and build up; don't tear down
and destroy.
And, no matter where we are, I'm always there for each one of you. Do keep in touch with me on my personal e-mail makrydesa@gmail.com.
Best of luck for your life ahead
