some of you who are reading...
probably know me,
or some you probably don't
but that doesn't matter because I'm here to say...
THANK YOU
THANK YOU, Paihia School, Thank you staff and Pta who taught me through out my learning years.
learning years which I clearly enjoyed.
so if you can all witness with me, I'd like to personally "thank" and "congratulate" teachers that taught me through out the years.
Mrs Simonds, you were the first teacher that showed me what a real begginer school experience was, and for that I am forever grateful. I can even remember how in those days I barely talked and socialised with people, but you introduced me to the light.
Mrs Newman, even though you're gone, I would always remember how much joy you gave me once I joined your class even if you were a bit grumpy (sorry if that sounded offensive).
Mrs Cameron I might not be able to remember that much experience I've had from you in your class but it's clear that you're indeed an excellent teacher.
Mrs Walliams, I remember how I got in trouble in your class "A LOT", but none of that was on Purpose, I just couldn't understand half the stuff you were teaching me so I apologise for that but I also thank you for teaching me that kind of stuff.
finally...
Whaea Becks and Whaea Chrissy, you were the best teachers that i looked up to in school experience, new learning, new fun, new ways, you taught me how to feel good about myself.
you taught me how to give "Kindess", "respect", "honorship" "all" that good stuff to my classmates, to my Tupuna/elders and to society aka the world.
along with looking after it.
thanks to that, I can finally feel inner peace within myself.
I also want to wish Whaea Becks on his adventurous journey.
and I'd like to wish Whaea Chrissy the best of luck whenever she becomes Princible.
speaking of the Princible, I'd like to "THANK" Mrs Lindsey.
Mrs Lindsey, I honestly do not know what to say.
whenever I got into a conversation with you...
there were compliments coming LEFT AND RIGHT LEFT AND RIGHT.
they were heartwarming, very very heartwarming.
the gifts you gave, the offers you presented.
I just couldn't believe it, it was umimaginable.
you will always be respected and welcomed in my home and in my heart mrs Lindsey.
I am truly sorry to all those people I have missed and have not enlisted.
but please do not think that even if you are not on the list I do no feel a lack of respect, because I swear by my soul that somewhere in my life that you have something extremely special for me.
because of that
all I wanted to say was Thank you
and please, accept their certificate of apreciation
apreciation certificate
other then that
Have a good night folks.
