Leaving School Message

   I’m going to tell you all a secret: 
   My job is not only to teach you English. 

   That’s the truth. 

    ALT’s help teach English, but also to add more
  global perspective into the classroom. 
 I have so many memories of this school. 

 •     Studying English with all of you

 •     Practicing for the speech contests 

 •     Talking with teachers in the staff room.

 •     Preparing students for EIKEN .

 •     Watching the school festivals and performances

 •     Talking to boys about training and lifting weights.

    ・         And many more memories.

 •     Every morning when I saw students, faces it made 
   me happy. 

   The world is becoming bigger and more connected 
  every day. 

   Your futures will be connected to the outside world.  
 I want to thank everyone who helped me during my 
  time here. 
 I had never been to Japan before and I happy to call
  Kumamoto my home. 

 In the future, you students may not remember me.. 
  That’s ok. 
 I want you to remember;  
 keep learning. 
   keep trying.
   keep achieving.

 Always challenge yourself.
 You can live your dream!
 Learning is not just reading books and taking tests.
 Learning is trying to become better than before. 

 And now I leave you. 
 Japan is a big place, maybe I will see you 
  again someday. 

   You are smart, very very smart. That is the truth. 

   Just like the truth that my job was never just to 
  teach you English.

 My job was to teach you life lessons, openness,
  and understanding. 

 I am excited for you to meet the new ALT when
  she arrives in August, I am sure you will show her 
  the same kindness and excitement you have shown me. 

   Until then, Farewell.
