“Life is like a butterfly
- you have to undergo many
changes in order to become something very beautiful”.
First of all, I would like to thank the authorities who gave
me this opportunity to share my feelings as we bid farewell to our Brothers.
I joined the school only two years back, so I think I would
not know much about them. But the memories I will cherish all my life. It seems
like yesterday that I met them, and the time of their departure has come
already. Br. Hector who became the principal in 1995 is not only a coach or a
teacher to me, but more than that, I would like to consider him as my best
friend. I will never forget your scoldings, your passion towards football, your
energy, your enthusiasm , everything. Things which you might think are odd, are
the things that make you special within yourself. All such memories are
valuable for me and will be in my heart forever. I would like to apologise for
all my mistakes and I am sorry for not
reaching your expectations. You are the person whom I can consider as a role
model.
Br.
John who takes life-skill for us, joined the institution in the year 2013. He
is very fond of gardening. I will never
forget the cucumber you to give us during football practice. Your life skill
classes are very inspiring and they give a beautiful message.
Next
comes, Br Len! By looking at his face, I
would get very much inspired. Never knew
why but it was true. His innocent face,
dashing attitude, the way he plays the piano, his amazing mathematics concepts
and above all his favourite dialogue - ‘pens down, watch the board’. He joined
the institution in 2014. I feel very sad
because I did not get much time to spend with him. I would like to thank you
for everything you gave to us, your knowledge, your ideas, your music – everything.
You taught us that “a pat on the back, is always better than a slap on the
wrist.’
Last
but not the least, my favourite Br Shawn. I would only remember you in my life because
of one reason and that is ‘you taught me to be yourself’. The way you dressed
and carried yourself was never about others, but always about how you felt. You
have shown me this over and over again. Your value education classes , biology
classes, such big notes, diagrams - everything will be remembered by me. You
joined this institution in 2015. We have known each other only for 2 years. But
the bonding and relationship you have created with us is unforgettable. I will
never know what you think about me. But
your image will be fixed in my heart forever. I will try to follow your advice
as best I can.
These words are very little to
express my feelings which are very deep. Wherever your future leads, I will be
watching and cheering for you. If possible, remember me in your prayers and
keep in touch not only with me but all of us. Thank you for all that you have
taught us. If I can inspire others half as much as you people have inspired me
, I know I would definitely be a success in life. Shower your blessings on us ; and congratulations on the new life you are
going to .
“Life doesn’t get better by a
chance : it gets better by a change”. So, good bye, Brothers, and good luck.
