It’s that time of year again. Students, teachers and administrators are wrapping things up and getting ready to say goodbye to the place they have called home for the last few years. Although I am so excited about my move to Thailand, I am still sad to leave Malaysia. There are so many things I will miss about this wonderful country and this school community.

Most of all, I am sad to leave:

• The absolutely amazing students we have. They are friendly, helpful, motivated, energetic and best of all, excited about learning.
• The wonderful faculty. Every single teacher is so dedicated and enthusiastic about education that it has truly been a pleasure to work with them.
• This fantastic city. Life is so easy in KL – everyone speaks English, the city is quite small and easy to get around, there are beautiful, green parks everywhere, and we have pretty much every comfort of home, even all the way on the other side of the planet.

As the many leaving parties begin to make life extremely busy in these last two weeks, I will be savoring every moment of my time here in KL – putting off that last goodbye until the absolute end…
