Dear pupils of my eyes,
Sometimes words cannot describe the feeling of a teacher the moment he can see the fruits and results of his work. That is the graduation time. It is a turning point from when it is time to take responsibilities for a student. It is the time when the teachers' previous advices start to ring some bells for them.
Some think that graduation is the end of the ties between a school/teacher and a student. However, what I honestly believe is that our relation now is going through a new dimension. This is a dimension in which we are no more formal, moreover we are now closer to each other. To be close means we can keep in touch here (or who knows in any other country), organize activities (as long as I am in Cambodia
), write each other or send messages via our website "12bfriends.com".
There are things we "want to" do and we "have to" do. If we do what we want, we might feel satisfied for that moment however probably will be miserable in the future. On the other hand, if we do what we have to, we might feel uncomfortable for the time being yet most probably would be successful and happy in the near future.
Throughout my life, I have concluded that learning is like swimming against a current in the river. If you do not proceed and progress, you will definitely recede. So you should always keep yourselves up-to-date.
As a scholar says, difficulties and troubles of the past would melt while happiness would remain forever untouched. Likewise, there were hard times and good times all together. I have buried all the hurtful things into the history and I will go on remembering just the nice timeless memories we had.
"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go."
