You are my honor..Ever and Never..

What can I say in this special and painful leaving time..

I almost got a broken-hearted when I saw that each of your words and I cannot imagine that if we won't see each other anymore, but I know that is not ture. Since we have been a class together, we always be together, don't we?

Dear Nobi,
I still like call you this way. Not for the general politeness, but for your kindness. You know what, I strongly feel that you do everything you can to help everyone in our class including me in the botton of your heart, and I feel bad about myself for making troubles usually. As you said, we are in the process of growing, we may not entirely grow to an adult, but we are experiencing eveything in our life road. Rememeber I always hand out the homework and lately post the article in the blog, but you pay me back your kindness and generous patience and I feel so regretful and sad. Like you said, You are not only teaching English and what you have done and taught me really move me even a little part of something that is hard to realise. I need to say sorry to you here. You and Chisa show me and let me know how great Japanese are. You never like a old man around us, I can remember your sunshine smiles like a kid, your humour jokes, your blunt and cute behavior, you are the only one teacher make me feel most comfortable and easy to get along with. I wont forget the last night and today you were my supervisor during the test.I hope in the future, we'll see you around and never say goodbye, and I also see that you are fighting abroad for your family, I sincerely wish that you are going to live a happy life in evey minute of your road.
Yours naughty student, Frank
For my lovely classmates:
It is hard to say something,huh? At this time, my brain is full of your names: Johnathon, Peter, Horace, Grace, Chisa, A.J, Sean, Steven, Tim, Tony, Tang, Kun, Leo, Crissy, Ophelia, Kahalifa, Sherry.

Thank yous, for eveything.
Thank yous, for eveytime.
Thank yous, for evey face deep in my heart.

Final words from nobi

First of all, thank you very much again, everyone, for having come to my class.
I know it has been very painful to wake up early in the morning.
I always woke up at 6:00 am, and I must confess that it was sometimes hard for me, too.
(Although it gets easier as you get older.)
I often received e-mails from you late at night or early in the morning.
So I knew that you guys kept awake till late, and went to bed so late.
No wonder you were so listless and sleepy all the time in my class.
Well, for your health, go to bed and wake up early!

This has been my fourth class to teach in ELC, and the first class where all the students were from East Asia as I always had Arabic people in my class.
So this reminded me of a college class that I taught in Japan before coming to the US.
Now, you were much younger than my former students.
Therefore, I faced some discipline problems, too.
I knew that I would teach not only English but also other things that are more important than English because I myself was not a good student in college.
You may not be able to imagine, but I sometimes slept in class.
I failed some classes.
I even rebelled against my professor.
Well, time passes, things change, and people grow.
Now I am teaching how to live.
But that is possible only because I also experienced bad times.
Yes, I needed discipline myself, and somehow I succeeded.
However, without other people's help, I am sure I could never have overcome the hardship.
I was scolded, yelled at, and hit by my mentors.
All those made me grow up to be an adult.
And I see that you are still in the process.
I hope I could have taught you like I was taught by others in the past.
But I know that it is difficult and often impossible.
Still, I did what I could do, what I thought I should do as a teacher as well as as a human being.
But, as you will not be my students any more, I don't have any control over your life.
So, how you take them into your life all depends on you.
Now you will meet new mentors, hopefully better ones than me.

I have been teaching something for over 15 years so far.
I have taught so many classes.
I have taught over 1,000 students.
And I have kept saying good-bye to all of them.
Not a single one of them is happiness.
Every single one of them is sadness.
But in order to step forward, we must say good bye.
One good bye bears a new hello.
It is now our turn to be apart.
I hope your next encounter will be even more precious.

This class is just a part of your life.
You will forget the details in due course.
It is sad, but necessary as you must not live in the past.
Live in the present, and look to the future.

I truly enjoyed having each of you in my class this semester.
See you around.
In case I don't see you, I sincerely hope you all prosper in your life from the bottom of my heart.

Say Bey

Time flys so fast. I just got up and checked my cell phone, worried about if I am late or not, but I realized that there is no more class. Nobi is right, there is no more hurry up, no more yum in our class, and I can not see your sleepy face and cool hair anymore.

I am suprized that I will have such a good class in my first collage year. I thought the class in univesity will be different from high school. Becase in high school, we always stay in one room together, but in collage, it is unsualy hard to see one classmate every day. Fortuntaely, we stay togther from 8am to 3pm every. And we got to know each other well. So should we thank ELS… Hum…

Any way, it is very nice to meet you guys. Every sigle one in our class has storng personalities. Some people said I did not show a lot of smilling, the reason is I feel noisy and tired when I am in classroom. Be honestly, I thought I am in a collage classroom, so people should know how to be a student, we are come to study but not for fun. At least, do not always disturb others. It is the end of the semmester, maybe it is not nice to say it, but it is my sincere suggestion. Hope every one get good luck in the next year.

Now it is the time to thank you haha.

First I need talk about Kun. Scott said we are guy, I think he chould be. But not me,see I got girl friend. I am not sure about Kun, he seems like to interest both side. But Kun is a good friend and a thin melomania, when you say you are going to pay his luch, he still just eat a little. And when you want to meet him when he is playing with his music, you should say, hey, I get a lot of cold coke, will you come? Haha, thank you Kun, I am sure we will contact a lot next year.
Then is A.J. It is quite hard to be in a class which full of chinese, isn’t it? I still remember you bring me and Kun to the Italian resturant, it is so good, we should go more. You always think of others, like you are the only one who bring candy to class when it is holiday. An I like the smile of your hand wash, haha. Now, go to bed, you hard working lady. Go and have a great sleep until the next spring comes.

And horace, you are in our group of panda, then I got to know with you. When I meet you at first time, I thougt: wow, his face is funny. Hahhahaha. I always think you can be a acter of a kongfu movie. No reason. Well, you are the guy who say the world “F***” most often, I think you just learn this world really well. And you are very funny hahahaha. Good luck at next year, remember your homework then.

Then is Chisa. Chisa, really, we all can see your English imporve so much, your speaking or writing. When I read your last essay in Nobi’s class, I was quite surprised that your writing is so good. You did good joy this semmester. May be you are the only one in our class who really want to improve english. And hope you have a good time back in Japan. Of cuase you will.

Wei and Sean, forgive me to write you two together. You two as a group of Chendunes get my attention a lot, whereevery in the class room or in the hall way. It is so load, but thank you, buecase you, our sleepy class have some energy to show to Nobi. Sean, wish you can be a pro of a car in the futre, I will buy car from you. And Wei, go futher in your music profession, you know those people how get a lot of hair awalys can be a good drummer. : )

Ophelia and Chrissy, sorry until now I did not get to know well about you. But I remmeber you both helped me to print and bring my paper, thank your so much, you are very nice and always willing to help other. Ophelia, your maijor is psychology right. Hum….very interesting. If I have any mental probleme in the future, can I go and ask you? Haha. And Crissy, I hope you can forgive that I always call you in a wrong name. all in all, have a wonderful new year back in china. And good luck at next year.

Grace, even people call you motosycle lady, but I don’t think you are strong and taugh enough for that. You know what, I really wanted to see you bring a strap and hit that on Scott when he try to poke the hole on your poor jeens with his pencil. Be more taugh, Grace, and kill Scott is your assignment. Haha. Anyway, hope you realy can buy a motocycle. One day, I wish I can heared nosiy in our campus, and I see you with you crazy motocycle.

Yu, your first name is same as my last name. and you use your fist name as your name. I feel realy strange at the early of the semester, because last year people call me yu…you seems to be a very quite guy in our class. And I have a suggestion to you, I can read your eassay or something else when you are reading, you are always talking about something poor or bad about yourself. I realy suggest you to stop doing that, a good men never show others his weak side. One can be proud of hisself just because being him self. So be more open and confidence. Hope it is not too straight, but I realy want to help you. It is the new year time!!! Hope you get good luck for the next year!!

Tony, it is a shame to know that we were in the same high school in beijing. Haha, it is a quite surprise. Before that, I did not even talk to you very often. Hummm, well, you will meet more 101 guy in our mapus, they are everywhere. May be see you in beijing !!! have good luck next year!

Tong, is it right? You are the hard working boy in our class. And you know what you are weak at, this is the part that I really like you. You are hoest, and nice. I really wish you can reach your achievment in your profassional field. Bio-chemical right? Wow, good men, you will be a rich men haha. And good luck in you next year!! I will see you more.

Nobi! Be hoestly, you are the teacher who teach me a lot this semester. First is the english part, I really feel luck to have you as my writing teacher. As I said, my gramar and writing is very weak, and you know how to improve us. Your feed back of eassay is very useful, I have never meeat a teacher that give me such more detail of feed back! It really improved my essay. Secondaly, you teach me how to be on time and be a student, you never say a bad world to me, but I get to know what I should do better. Thanks Nobi, I really wish I can see you if you work for LEVE 4. Have a great time in Japan and happy new year!

Bye everone. I think you will see me in campus. A guy with his rollerblading, that’s me.

I will miss you
