The good news - computer is up and running!!!
The bad news - This is my last full week of teaching :( I'm also very behind in typing up final reports and such, so I've been so busy trying to tie up lose ends.
I will start uploading pictures to my blog very soon...but to hold you over until then, I typed up some of my final class letters that I had every student write to me. Enjoy reading them :)
I gave each student the choice of writing their own letter to me, or they could "fill in the blanks" to an already typed out letter.
In ten years, I want to be …
o
an
engineer because I want to
create something new.

Dear lovely Miss
Lauren Parson,
“Yo, what’s up?” This is the first
thing I learnt from you when you first came to our school in Malaysia, SMK
Teluk Chempedak. I’m quite sure you will remember me. This will be the last
time I wrote letter to you.
I was so sad when I heard that Miss
Lauren is going back to Maryland, United States of America. Time flies. I still
remember you first came to our school on March. That’s when I heard you say “yo
what’s up?” I always pay attention whenever you conducted activities.
I love the way you teach us…or…maybe
it’s play. I always saw you joking, laughing, cheering, and playing. You look
beautiful and lovely whenever you play with us. I love to play with you, Miss
Lauren. Vidya says you are gorgeous after 10 years although you are in 30’s,
maybe. I agree of that too.
I am very sad now. Hope that you
won’t go back. No, sorry, it’s hope that you will come back to visit us. Till
next time, bye.
--------------------------------
Dear Miss Lauren,
Hi teacher I hope you are in pink of
health. I am Kong from 2M at SMK Teluk Chempedak. I will miss you after you
leave Malaysia.
When you started to teach me I fell
like I was the happiest people to get a teacher like you. I can play inside the
classroom when you came in because you always have plan to do every week.
In all this year, I have learn
English but you teaches me in a fun way that I can improve my grammar. You even
bring your family and friends to the classroom. I learn that we must be quiet
when we play game because Mr. Vijay is always teaching other subject in next
class. (He is the discipline teacher at school and the kids are terrified
of him)
I had a blast with teacher as teacher took
us our to English camp. I have never enter a English camp before teacher came.
Malaysia and America are very far but I hope we could met again, or we can chat
using Facebook.
I am going to miss your curly hair,
fair skin, beautiful face when you are back to America.
PS- If you buy all the
apple project in Malaysia do not upgrade version in America because it will
lock all the system.
--------------------------------
Dear Ms. Lauren,
This may be the last time we see
each other again. Due to the recent events, which is our end-year examination.
If we ever did anything wrong or ever said something that offended you, please
forgive us.
Teacher, please don’t go away! We
love English classes which was always had been taught by you. You are a light
in a dark room, a penny in our wallets, and a sunflower in a rose garden. You
have been teaching us for about 6 or 7 months, if we are not able to understand
you, or we ever get you in trouble, forgive us.
SMK TC will be a boring and dull
place without a light here. Everytime you enter our class, happiness and jokes
fly around except the day when we were ratted out by Mr. Vijay. The lessons
about America, the jokes about us all, the films you showed us have all been a
valuable memory to us.
I will miss your curly hair, your
fair skin, and your gorgeous smile, face, and everything about you. I miss you
teacher.
--------------------------------
Dear Miss Lauren,
I love English class so much!
Because I can see you at the moment. My favorite thing that you do is playing
games with us. It can improve our English skills and having fun. I love it!
Miss Lauren, I like your watch so
much!! It is damn nice! In addition, the sunglass that you wear I think it is
suitable for you, just for you!
One thing I learned from you is even
though the sun aren’t shine, we can also wear a sunglass as you!
Miss Lauren, you are the only one
teacher I love and respect. I will not going to forget you, Miss Lauren.
Thanks for sharing your life and
knowledge for us. Thanks for teaching me to shuffle.
PS – I like your
height too, you are tall!
--------------------------------
Dear Miss Lauren,
I love the way you teach me English
since you got here in Malaysia. You always make me laugh and giggles. I think
in ten years, you’ll be a successful woman in America.
I want to thank you because you
teach me drama and teached me English. I can speak better in English and I also
learned how to act in front of people.
After school, I want to go to the
University of Herpatology in Towson to learn about reptile and amphibian. My
idol is Dr. Brady Barr.
We all love you Miss Lauren.
