讚嘆！
前天，畢演小朋友除了送那個綵排照相大拼圖，還送一個午安枕頭。希望老師不要像 7-11 一樣工作。
我們平常都只講「專業」的話題，沒想到他們還是已經將我長時無休的狀況看在眼裡，還放在心裡。收到一張大卡片之外還有三張寫得細細的小卡。
這個導演是我的得意門生，精力無限，幾乎甄選上學校所有大活動：三年級時和另外九個學生由校長帶領參訪美國姊妹校(這些學生都會變成校長的好朋友)、當選學校畢業拿斐陶斐獎、學校 Role Model、English Corner 小老師、學習資源中心義工、畢業典禮畢業生英語致謝詞(七種語言)、兩年參加 Yvette 帶的讀書會都得到績優和特優獎學金、在外面參加大型研討會工讀居然還被選去當司儀....
前天看她準備了一張超大卡片，上面貼滿四年來和校長合照(包括畢業典禮撥穗)的照片要送校長，校長要離職前收到這麼多的禮物，來自學生的一定更加感動。
這是我在她們畢業公演節目手冊上寫的感言。I am really proud of them.

I Hear Shih Hsin Singing
I Hear Shih Hsin singing,
Raising her voices so sugary and so sound,
Like the wind in the woods,
Blowing in, blowing out.
I hear Shih Hsin singing her song.
I hear Shih Hsin’s song.
The zealous amateur director
Sits in her director’s chair,
And sings to her microphone
About acting and dancing, about moving and posing,
And ladies with cold beaten hearts.
The sensible amateur playwrights
Sing along with all the amateur actors,
About sins, about crimes, about cheating and about trust--
All that Jazz.
The vigorous choreographers
Sing their songs of coaching,
Amateur yet professional,
Enlivening the whole stage.
The amateur actors and dancers
Sing their songs in high glee.
In unison or one by one,
They laugh and they cry,
They shout and they stomp,
So the audience wants to sing along.
The off-stage crew sings the song of collaboration.
The producer, the art director, the stage manager,
Scenery designers, lighting designers, sound designers,
Costume designers, make-up designers,
Subtitle writers, fundraisers,
And many other people who work without a title…
All sing a song of cooperation.
For four years I have been with these lovely guys, most in class and
some on campus. In class, I enjoyed their creativity in
performances, oral reports and journal writing. After class, some of
us spent countless idle hours together: forming study groups,
reading novels and poems. Most of the time, we simply chatted
outside the English Corner or in my office. We exchanged ideas and
shared laughter. One day, Cynthia and Mona came to me for the
graduation play, and I knew right at that moment that no matter what
play they chose, they were going to make it. They were courageous
enough to choose Chicago the musical and challenged themselves! In
the past year, Cynthia and Mona talked with me for the performance
via email or in person, almost on daily basis. The whole crew
worked so hard to make it happen, and now they made it!
I Hear Shih Hsin singing—Sin, Sing, Swing.
