I think I was a better teacher/person 2 years ago.

Birthday present from an ex-student.

Hello mr lim I'm currently doing a foundation course in London right now and I got my results ytd . 3 of my subjects are above 90% and my bio was 81% . Even though I've graduated from sr for over 2 year , I'm still reminded of the lessons you gave us . Seeing how supportive you were for your students this yr reminded me of how encouraging you were when we had our a lvls . I learnt many things from you and I believe the reason I managed to score was because of the lessons you used to give us . From the photos that you posted , I realized that it's never too late to chase after our dreams . After much effort , you've published coastline and you're now going on to work for SPH(I heard) , doing what you've always dreamed of . Even though I'll be entering uni 2 yrs later than my peers , I'm grateful that I'll be studying what I've always dreamt of studying rather than just settling( I'm reminded of the speech Steve jobs gave in Stanford that you shared with us each time I see this word) for what I was able to pursue . You used to tell us to not avoid mistakes and that we should embrace them. I never understood why or what that meant . However , in these 2yrs , I've experienced many failures and setbacks and I'm truly grateful for the pain I had to go through . Lastly , I'm reminded of what you told me during graduation day . You said that I've very supportive parents and I should never let them down . It was then that i realized I've been taking my parents for granted and I've lived my life disappointing them . Fortunately for me , I'm able to make them proud with my current results . This gratitude might have came too late but thank you mr lim for not sugar coating your words during lessons and for being such an inspirational teacher . Although you're no longer a teacher , i hope you'll still be able to inspire people thru your photos and essays . I wish you all the best in your future career and merry Christmas mr lim .
