Yesterday we Ex-AES knights received a sad news from our former teacher. The ex-principle of AES; Mr Marcell Lee; has a stroke and is in ICU. Teachers are asking us to write letters to him and teachers will read out to him as a motivation for him to get well. I have left school on 1999 and its been 13 years since I saw him. All I could remember him was kind to me, as I am not a bad student in school and that’s why I was invite to his office so frequent as others. The impression he gave me was kind, serious, strict and hardly a joker. Of course as a principle, there’s a certain image to be carry out to students. You cant get too close to students but not to the extent of being a stranger to us.
We aint that close but still we have been seeing each other during my last few years in School. Seeing him every day in the morning assembly and hearing all the talks though I cant really remember what he had said all those years but it’s a routine. He always bring a smile whenever he walks around the school. Making sure that everyone is behaving well and going to class as per schedule. Doesn’t mean that as a principle you have to bring black serious face to show that you are fierce and unapproachable so that people are scare of you.
We ex-AES always like to go back to school but after some years, new rules came and ex-AES knights are not allow to go in school as and when we like. From there, we hardly went back to see teachers and juniors and as time pass, no one ever mention wants to go back to school for memories refreshment. It’s a pity that school have this new rules which cut us off like this.
Nevertheless, our teacher remind us that our motto which was crafted by him has made me realize that I should start working hard again in my work.
I should always remember the motto: “THROUGH WORK ACHIEVE SUCCESS”!
