To Sir James (JC Colonya), our Grade 12 moderator, we are truly blessed and forever grateful that you have been our moderator in our graduating year. We remember our first impressions of you โ strict, intelligent, and somewhat intimidating. But, over time, you've shown us your funny, supportive, and loving side โ the Sir James that we've come to know and will forever treasure in our hearts.
You werenโt just a moderator to us; you've been a mentor, a role model, and a steady voice of encouragement in our ever-changing days.
As we had classes in your subjects, you taught us a lot โ in a way that other teachers have never taught us before. Almost every class was a recitation (which we'll probably miss HAHA), and it was scary at times, especially at the beginning. But, thanks to that we've learned to be much more particular our details and be more confident, as you would always be able to find a way to question every answer we had. We've also learned so much from the way you taught us, as you always ensured that we leave the class with newfound knowledge. In addition, you've always shared with us your experiences, especially when it comes to the business and government setting, and on top of that, you've given us lots of life lessons, all of which we will carry along with us in the future.
We've also come to appreciate your love and care for every single student in Mayer, as you've always shown your support towards us, and whatever we've done, always willing to help out in any way. We also got to see more of your humorous side, whether cracking a few unexpected jokes about the lessons/presentations at times, or kapag inaasar niyo kami paminsan ๐, which added life and laughter to our days, making each class feel a little lighter and a little warmer. You reminded us that learning can be lighthearted and full of heart.
Weโve learned so much not just from your words, but from the way you carried yourself with patience, humility, and quiet strength.
Though at times, there were some struggles, you've never failed to show your complete and absolute support for Mayer, and we will forever be grateful for that.
As we move on to a new chapter of our lives, we will never forget all that you've taught us and done for us, it truly was a blessing to habe you as our moderator, thank you for everything!
