Farewell | Tianshuai Jiang (Steven)

Tianshuai Jiang (Steven)

When I first joined SPH, SPH started to fully switch to online classes. This year, as the school has students onsite, I finally get to see the cute faces behind the cameras. The Mandarin students and I built strong bond together both in and out of class, and I truly enjoyed teaching and spending time together with the students. There are times we laughed together, times we struggled together, and times we cheered the success together. Those moments will forever be kept with me as I leave Indonesia. Next year, I will go back to China to spend time with my family after leaving them for 3 years. Very likely, I will be teaching at an IB school from Yangon. My students ask me “Laoshi, are you coming back?” “Why are you leaving?” “Can’t you just stay??” “I will buy you bubble tea to keep you here.” Whenever I hear this, my heart is touched and at the same time grateful for their love and concern. I feel very blessed that I get to be their teacher, and for sure, I will visit them in the future! Much much much love to all my dear friends, cheerful colleagues, and my precious students here at SPH.
