Esto Vir!

MS 8 @ Chaminade

It's my second-to-last day at Chaminade, and I'm feeling a bit nostalgic. How do I sum up eleven years? The truth is I can't; I can't even begin to try. My time at Chaminade has been a blessing, and I will forever carry fond memories of the boys, my colleagues, and our experiences together.

As I sit at my desk for the last time, I look around at the bare walls and the empty desks, and I remember all of the good times had in this room. Since its construction it has been mine alone; and now it's time to pass it off to someone else. I hope that it continues to be a bastion of knowledge and a place where boys can feel safe and have fun.

Thank you, Chaminade, for all you have given me. For the past eleven years, I've been encouraging the boys to live out the motto of "Esto Vir;" not realizing all the time that the school was asking me to do the same.

Goodbye...
