A Great Send-off

(This blog is getting to be a memorial to people I have known and worked with. This is not my intent. Nevertheless, I have to say my goodyes to these people.)

Ms. C was my Algebra and Physics teacher (and several other subjects) in high school. She’s been teaching in the same school for a loooong time before us, so she developed great patience. Which she must have sorely needed when I was her student. Let’s face it, saying that I am not good in math is an understatement. My learning curve must have dropped after subtraction. Heck, I can’t even memorize the multiplication table. I was this close to flunking Algebra in high school. Well, when Ms. C became our teacher, she would often comment to me that my grades are like waves. Up and down, up and down. She would painstakingly go over the lesons again and again til it goes thru our thick heads.But because of her constant encouragement, I managed to pass Algebra. Needless to say, she is  well loved by her students.

Two weeks ago, I learned that Ms. C succumbed to the big C. When my classmates and I went to pay our final respects, we were pleasantly surprised by Ms. C’s family’s sendoff to her.

Goodbye Ms. C… and many thanks.
