Good morning dear parents, grandparents, teachers, guests and to my dear Mom and Dad. I started in the prestigious school, NGMS, when I was 18 months old and now I am 9 years old and on July 2nd I’ll turn 10.

My journey began in the Toddlers room with Ms. Ariane, where I learned to share and take turns. I was introduced to letter sounds and numbers and with Ms. Ariane’s help, I became independent and confident.

Then I went to the Primary class with Ms. Anne, where I continued my studies. In this class I studied reading, writing and spelling. I was introduced to the continents and the US map and I began to practice math skills.

And for more than 4 years now, I have been with Ms. Aida in the Elementary. Ms. Aida helped me perfect my academic skills and she helped me to become a good leader and showed me the value of respect. I have made many friends here that I will remember for a lifetime. Like my best friend, Billy. Every time I was in trouble, he was right there beside me.

I have enjoyed learning Chinese with Ms. Jing Li, German with Ms. Aida and Drama with Ms. Jean; and for the afternoon activities, I have had lots of fun with Ms. Louren and other teachers.

I have learned and I am still learning many things from my teachers and Mr. Manooch, not only in academics but most importantly with my behavior to be a good child and to be a better gentleman in the future.

So anyway, deep in my heart, I would like to thank all these teachers and my supportive and loving Mom and Dad who have helped me through out this journey. I have spent my whole life here and I just wanted to say thank you so much.
