Mrs Ho's retirement ceremony

The ceremony was definitely one of the worse planned ceremony I've ever seen by the councillors, as usual.
I mean, what has cheerleading and hip-hop (which is actually some breakdancing) got to do with her retirement?!
Anyway.
The video was actually quite touching and can really tell from her speech that she really hope for the best for all of us.
After everything we went to her to give her the present by LEP ppl and can see tears in her eyes then, quite touched that someone really gave her heart and soul to educating generations of people for a total of 37 years.
When Miao and I were interviewing her a few weeks ago I was already in awe by how much she remembers and cares about her students, past and present. She keeps all their letters and emails to her in a stick-on photo album which had already turned yellow with age.
I am not in the position to judge her as a teacher since she had never teached me before, but I can say I really learned a lot from her. She's always been friendly and nice to students and everytime I met her in school she would approach for a short chat, she's a really nice principal.
I hope for the best for her in the retirement years because she deserves it after so many years of hardwork in the education arena.
Mrs Ho, Happy Retirement!
