I have just found this emotional message posted to my blog
Message from Shontae. Shontae is one on my grade 6 students who has just graduated from my class and now heads to Secondary School in 2014. She has had a fabulous year and has grown in confidence everyday. I will miss her smile and kind words but I will mostly miss her worrying about me and my hug every Friday afternoon as she heads off for the weekend.
Shontae’s Message:
‘I would just like to say goodbye to the most special person I have ever met, Mrs Joyce, she has been the highlight of my years at primary school and has helped in the times when I have needed to be helped, I have never met a person who is so beautiful and lovely to so many students, to be honest without this beautiful lady I would not be where I am today, Mrs Joyce I am going to miss you so much, I will come and visit you everyday, good luck next year with the 3/4′s and my brother, I do not want to go just yet but I am afraid I have to leave some day, I have been crying my self to sleep realizing that I will never get to be in your grade again or be with you for a whole day, I just wanted to let you know Mrs Joyce that I love you and I will miss you and my heart goes out for you for everything you have done for me and everyone else we could not thank you enough! xoxoxoxox’
Mrs Joyce, I’m sure she is not the only one who thinks like this! Sort of makes the job worth while, doesn’t it? Enjoy the holidays and you’ll be ready to start again in 2014!
Guess what…it’s not a secret message any more!!! Ha ha ha
That is so beautiful Shontae and I’m so proud of all of the year sixes in 2013. Mrs Joyce I have really had a great two years with you and I wish I could be with you again for another year. I wouldn’t be here now if you didn’t encourage me to keep trying and to never give up. Mrs Joyce have a great time in the 3/4 unit and good luck. Also Shontae that speech acaully made me cry but that shows that you really care about the times you’ve had in year six.
Yes she is more than special person to us also here in Ghana and that is why we also Love her.
Shontae that is a amazing message to Mrs Joyce. It made me cry, it shows how much you care about everything.
Mrs Joyce I would like to thank you for teaching me my last year of primary school. It was the best and the most emotional year of them all. You have inspired me everyday to pursue my dreams and to never give up fighting. I have taken your knowledge and I will treasure it forever. You have been one if the most important people in my life. I miss your smile which would always make me smile😀. I have been looking back on the year. Memories that can never compare to the ones that I have made with you and all of the grade sixes. I hope the grade 4’s take lots of learning from you like I did. They will be inspired everyday. I am crying just writing this because I know that I will never be your student again and I will never be a student at Liddiard Road. When I come and visit you I will cry so be prepared. I will miss you next year lots. Thank you again for everything again.
Rennae. xoxox
