It feels like just yesterday that I was driving up to
Rwentutu for the first time. I remember feeling excited, happy, and even a little
nervous to be in a new place. Now it is already time for me to go. It pains me
to have to leave this beautiful school and this wonderful class behind. Though
I am sad because it is the end of my time here, I am happy because it is not
the end for you. You are all the future of your school, communities, and
country, and I know you can do great things for them all.
For you, it is normal to see teachers from U.S.A. come to
Rwentutu for a short time and then go. Most of them you will probably never see
again. But you should know that we teachers will always have you in our minds
and in our hearts. We do not forget the students of Rwentutu. You truly help to
change our lives, make us better teachers, and better people. Teaching here has
been the greatest time of my life. I am blessed to have met you. I hope I was
able to teach you, but I have learned more from you than you could ever learn
from me.
Know this—do not ever let any teacher or classmate deceive
you into believing you are not smart. I have seen how amazing you all can be.
If you work hard and help teach one another you will always be strong and
respected. I will miss you and you all will be in my heart forever. Live well,
do good work, and believe that you can do great things for your families,
school, and country. Thank You for everything.
Sincerely, Teacher Steve
