Dhimas,

Although we’ve never really had an opportunity to talk or get to know one another well, I see great things in you. Although all we have shared is our English class and our math class I have admired you. It is always nice to see your motivation, courage and cheerfulness. If I feel down and I see your happy smile, or hear your cheerful voice, it makes me feel just a little bit better. I’m sure many people have already told you this, but I will say it again; If only there were more people like you around, everyday would be a little more bearable. I hope your stay here in Halifax has been a memorable one, and I hope you have a wonderful life in your country.

Hi

I’m always fine. About 8 months in the same class, it was pretty good. You are a very smart and nice person. I hope you will have a good time anywhere and anytime. I do not have any rule in my life because we have rule to break it. But anyway, from now on, we must go back to our hot countries.

I hope you are hip today and forever.

My personal life is weird, sometimes I do not understand myself but I like music. When I have any trouble, I will listen to music. It is the best expression in the world.

Be cool, stay warm.

Hey Dhimas:

Keep on the right track! Those brains will get you far in life and don’t give up the care free nature and the smile. PS: Remember in times of stress, it’s not the cards you are delt, it’s really how you play your hand! Have a good on.

Dhimes,

I hope you had a great time in Canada. Being in the same physics class with you brought some friendly competition. Even though you are a “genius”, you are also a pretty good soccer player. I hope you will remember us when you are in the hot, tropical climate of the Philippines.

From: George Dimitropoulos

PS: You should take some Canadian snow with you when you go to the Philippines. I know you are going to miss it.

Dhimas…

I hope you had the best time ever while in Halifax. It’s been a fun year in Physics class with you and hopefully I’ll be able to understand it like you do! Hopefully you’ll come back here sometime to visit and even though you’re leaving doesn’t mean you should be a stranger. In other words… You better write!! Hope you have a safe trip home and you will miss us  here! Keep smiling! J

Dear Dhimas,

I’m really glad I got a chance to get to know you. Thanks for taking the time to talk to me. I have a hard time making friends, so I wish you were staying longer. Math class is almost done for the year. Have fun on vacation, and I hope you enjoy wherever you move to! God Bless!

Dear Dhimas,

Oh, at last the year is over!!! WOW!

I hope you did great in your exams, and had a nice different year here. It is a shame you are leaving this year, it would have been nice if you stayed for at least another year. (So you can do my Math homework! Kidding)

Anyway, it was really nice and interesting knowing you, and I hope we meet in the future; Maybe as “Math” teachers in the same school (hahaha!!!)

Good luck in the future and in university, and have a great summer.

Dear Dhimas,

It’s been a real joy having you in my CRS class this year. You are always so pleasant, corteous and helpful. You have been a great help to me and to the students. I am particularly grateful for the music you brought to the BASIC unit.

I hope your future brings you back this way & that you visit the school to let us know how you are doing. I’m sure your talents will bring you many successes.

Be well,

Dear Dhimas,

What a pleasure to have a class with a student like you, especially after I’ve spent time chasing after students who have caused three false alarms in two days! .. ah, the woes of a V.P! … You have worked so dilligently this year and have made an incredible amount of progress.

Don’t forget our E.S.L. class and the new friendships we’ve made and our famous “bowling” experience! I wish you health and happiness.
