A lack of consequence most clearly defines adolescent years, but more importantly perfectly describes our relationship.

It has been a rollercoaster for the two years you have taught me. Admittedly, I absolutely loathed the routine warm-up questions because they were just so dull and cumbersome. But sometimes, I would have fun just listening to you - occasionally adding input into the class discussion. You were a genuinely interesting person. And a kind soul, I would add. My parents often compare my bedroom to a terrorist bomb site, and that description also reflects my general organization skills. I've robbed eight notebooks from your class - perhaps this is an overly optimistic guess - and still managed not to bring it to class around 25% of the time. However, you have the amazing quality of being able to forgive and see the best in people. Even if I am never able to see you ever again, even if the memory of you fades with the passage of time, know this: you will always live on in my heart.

I hope you absolutely love every single day of your new job and create new memories, opportunities, and bonds. Life is like compound interest - as you travel across the globe, you are exposed to new things. You can either embrace or reject these new things - if you choose to embrace them, your arsenal of wisdom increases. 

Whatever challenges you may face - whether it be a language barrier or cultural differences - don't feel intimidated. Just like when you first step foot in China, everyone here seems to gurgle like the sound of a tsunami, which makes the Chinese language particularly inaccessible for you to learn. However, as you spent more time in this country, you learned the language, albeit at a slow pace. So, I would urge you to try to learn some Hungarian. Start with a few phrases, like "Hogy vagy" (How are you), and start from there. I'm sure you're completely capable of finishing the rest.

Finally, I would like to get a bit side-tracked and talk to Mr. Wheatley. Particularly, this has to do more with my brother, Morpheus, not me. Morpheus will miss Mr. Wheatley a great deal - but his passion for soccer won't die there. He has immensely improved over the past months and may even become inconceivably better in the future. Even though Mr. Wheatley won't be here next year, and many kids will leave this school due to unfavorable circumstances, Morpheus will still vow to bring Dulwich to winning the championship again. Morpheus is an extremely determined kid - sometimes stubborn - to the point, that he fractured his arm in a recent match against older kids. I can assure you he will still play soccer with all his passion. After all, it's the hobby he's the strongest at. 

Additionally, if you are interested, we can maintain some form of contact in the future. So it won't be a permanent goodbye - just a see you next time.]]> 2022-06-13 11:45:57 UTC https://padlet.com/celinecai24/msokeeffe/wish/2219437404 https://padlet.com/celinecai24/msokeeffe/wish/2220291076 Ms O'Keeffe! Thank you for dealing with our ratchet IG economics class for year 10 & 11 (and also letting us watch movies). Rest assured, I will continue to watch trash TV, and you should too :) .  To many more drama-filled seasons of Selling Sunset!

Thank you for all you have contributed to the students over your 3 years here. They are incredibly lucky to have had you as their teacher or HOY. 
I wish you all best for your new role in Budapest.

During assembly when you used the quiet kayotee it reminded me of all of the times we spent during our humanity lessons at year 7. You will be missed a lot. -Obteen Haghi]]> 2022-06-15 00:19:03 UTC https://padlet.com/celinecai24/msokeeffe/wish/2221291843 https://padlet.com/celinecai24/msokeeffe/wish/2221299523 Bidding farewell is something everyone finds very difficult, especially when you know that you will miss the person so very much, but it is something we all have to do some point in our life. 

I’d first like to start with the thanks. Thank you so much for teaching me Humanities this year. Thank you so much for being a wonderful Head of Year 8. Thank you for always being there to support me whether I was in my best days or my worst days. 

Then I would like to cherish our memories together. I really would cherish the moments in lunch time where we used to talk about very interesting topics and played board games. Allowing me to practice my magic tricks in your room.

Lastly, I wish you good luck wherever you carry on in your life. I know that next you will go to Budapest, a wonderful city in Hungary, I truly wish the best time for you there!

Thank you so much of everything you did. You will always be missed. I will never forget you so don’t forget me!

Over the past year as a year 8 student, it is really is a big farewell from me in behalf of the whole Year 8

Again, thank you so much for being such an understanding teacher. I have enjoyed in eating lunch with you in your classroom, our group had a variety of conversation types. 

I heard Hungary is a very good and beautiful place. I wish you the best luck during your journey and your life there. I hope that you stay safe and healthy.
