Evaluation of term 1 & 2- English
Reflections floating free in my memory. Reflections that will always be a part of me. The dawn of my life, like the dawn of that day is only a memory of my mind but so important because it gave the opportunity to grow, to become what I am and what I will be.
That was the first day of our English lesson with Mr. Sujee. I was anxious and frightened to a certain extent because this was something totally new and strange…an environment I was not used to being in. He began by asking if we were ready to start working, to start thinking about what we would like to become one day and when I could no longer answer, I then realised that I was living my life in ignorance.
Adjusting to the new rules, the different manner of teaching and the fast pace of work was tough in the beginning but in the second term I was familiar with it all and it was a pleasure to walk in the English class again. You have bestowed upon us some of the greatest opportunities.
You have inculcated values, morals and meaning into my life. I’m now more aware of the people around me. The elderly, the poor, the needy and the orphan. I am being taught to value people for what they are and not for what they have. I have been taught that where there is hatred, I should show love, where there is despair, I should give hope and where there is sadness, I should show happiness.
Being in the class of Mr. Sujee, it has taught me to consider all facts of life. We all have a role to fulfill in society. The underdog, the bully, the gangster, the drug lord, the landlord and the common labourer all fit into a picture perfect puzzle.

Thanks so much for the wonderful words of inspiration. I must say that it is pupils like you that inspire me. Your work is just remarkable. In fact, when I read your essays, analysis on issues and evaluations I believe that I am reading the work of a mature and refined adult.
I am really interested to see how much a part you will play in the actual writing of our book based on the Vaal Hearings i.e. next year 2008. Furthermore, I know that you have a talent at writing therefore, we need to explore that talent and exploit it to the best possible advantage.
Keep up the good work and up date your blog with the work - letter to editor, Vaal Hearings etc.
Thanks for being a wonderful student.
Mr.A.Sujee
