The Last Day....

Today is the last day of my course in Dresden. We were rather emotional. Libor looked very sad that we will all be going our separate ways. I get the feeling that he is an emotional and serious person. A perfectionist too. In a positive sense. :) I like him. A man at 40, who teaches in a technical school and who is willing to share knowledge and help others. He is also someone who is open-minded enough to see things from a different point of view.

Herr Kogar - a wise old man who is always smiling and exuding a fatherly presence. Although he does not say much, one does not get the feeling that he is aloof.

The Romanian couple - I pray for them and wish that their hopes and wishes will come true soon. They are a jovial couple. There is always laughter around them.

Stefan - We did not say much. I guess we both know that there is something not right between us. American kultur und Asian kulture is slightly different. Being humble and being receptive to other people. And not judge others without first understanding th esurrounding factors. Perhaps Stefan is still young and has yet to see the world. Afterall, I did learn lessons the hard way too.

Mai and Ji - THey have to stay here much longer for their studies. Both are young girls with ambitions and energy. I wish them well.

Siew Hwa - The girl who gets on my nerves quite frequently. I hope that she grows up soon and that she learns to be more sensitive especially when she wants to be a psychologist.

Aboveall, I think we had a good time. A class mit different people, different experiences, different aspirations, different personalities and thoughts. Yet, it all turned out well, Peaceful and harmonious. ALthough we never really say much other than revise Deutsch grammar and homework, it somehow bonded all of us. There is this atmosphere of missing each other and hoping that we all have more time together to get to know each other. It was an extremely long emotional moment for quite a few of us. Especially Marit.

Marit taught us for only two weeks but she loves us. When a teacher loves her students and does her very best to help them, you can feel it. She is one good teacher and we are very fortunate to have gotten to know her. She will always be one of the very few who will have a lasting impression on me. She is one whom I can draw my inspiration and motivation for my future endeavours from. While all has been going well, something bad happened today and Marit cried. I pray for her and I hope that everything is alright. She is one good person on this planet earth.

While I love to write more, I have to go do my homework and revision so that I can revise what has been taught today. Must not let Marit down. Must carry on and strive to be the best. Just like she strives to do her best in imparting her knowledge to us.

Meanwhile/Inzwishen, I pray for peace, harmony and happiness for the students and teachers and the people around me.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
