The Goodbye Message to the Fourth Years
This message was made into a "bonus" (2 pts) to the last chemistry exam of Chem 3 students.:
Hi little ones. Many of you might be uncomfortable to be called “little ones”. Yet I have learned that in order to grow, you need to be little. Big people no longer grow. They truly miss a lot in being such.
I took the time to write you this little thing because this will be the last time that I’ll be able to communicate with most of you people. I have enjoyed being around with you. Learned a few more things.
Now, however, it’s time to go. You will have to go each one your own roads. College is a life very different. Yet, like high school, college is an institution where you learn, pass, then finally, leave. Where do you go next? A rather simple but deep question.
You see, where you go, or how far you go, it is all up to you. Many people choose to be contented. “Let us eat and drink for tomorrow we are to die.” Different from this cheap idea, many have found something better. Like, “Make a family and serve them well. Make your children grow into responsible adults.” Still others find something much better. “Change the world. Make an imprint. Be a good leader, or be a great scientist.” And a much few more may find something more worthwhile than that. The point is, where you go, or how far you go, it is all up to you.
If you’d like to stop, that will be your decision. If you want to move on here’s a few tips. First, you need to be humble and smart in order to know the right way. Then you’ll need to be strong and brave. Because knowing which way to go is not enough. What is more difficult, is to walk in that way. Be courageous. Many whom I knew stopped not because they want to stop nor because they don’t know what to do, but because they lacked the determination to go on.
Last words, last words. I hope you’ll find a nice place to go.
Bon Voyage!
