Thank you for making learning not a job but a joy.
Thank you for making me feel valuable.
Thank you for helping me to discover what I do best -
and to do it even better.

Thank you for taking away the fear of things I could
not understand - and persuading me that
I understood them after all .
Thank you for giving us the courage to use our
minds as well and as honestly as we can…
and never be afraid to question.

You put beauty into my hand.
And that was my beginning.
You, as my teacher, gave me words, images, ideas
from which to build my life.
Whatever I build, you helped to lay the foundations.

I will
remember you
always
and always.

You were the one who explained that
a life can be as
thin and flat as paper –
or deep as the ocean and as
high as the sky.
We have to choose.
