Despedida

Às turmas 11A2 e 11A3 endereço os meus cordiais cumprimentos e os desejos de que toda a vossa vida seja feliz e frutuosa. Como já tive oportunidade de vos dizer, vocês representam um pouco ainda a reserva moral da classe discente em Portugal. Foi uma honra ter trabalhado convosco durante dois (ou mais) anos.

Aos Alunos que me fizeram sentir que a entrega ao ensino ainda pode valer a pena o meu muito obrigado. A todos os que souberam compreender as limitações a que a doença me sujeitou, o meu eterno afecto.

Muita SAÚDE para todos.

Um grande abraço deste vosso Amigo

Sempre
