October 14th, 2016

To my teacher:

If I had not had you as my teacher in year 11, my life would have been incredibly different. I’m not
saying it would be worse-but you opened my heart again to what I have been dreaming so far. You took a
kid from Papua, an isolated place in Indonesia, and made him be brave to see the world and believe on his
dream.
I never forget one lesson where you told us about your dreams for your future when you where our age. I
think you were meant to be talking only about English, but it changed, and kind of became a life study.
You told us about your regrets and your successes and it started to make me realize that anything is really
possible for everyone. You have changed me radically on my way of learning, I wouldn’t be where I am
today without you. Your encouragement and persistence in all of your classes have taught me that I am
who I am, and to get to the top, it’s all down to me. I am capable, but I will take hard work and lost of
dedication.

Thank you,
Nickelo Anjelo (Graduated).
