life.

Life at GISS wasn't a straight road. It wasn't what I expected but it turned
out to be just what I needed. The good and bad times blended to make my
stay very memorable. The variety of teachers, who possess a variety of characters and qualities, by
their actions and through their lessons have contributed immensely to my life. The senior and junior
students that I met in the course of this journey have directly and indirectly made impact in my life. The
positions I held and the ones that I didn't have taught me a lot. The extra-curricular activities I engaged
in have done me immeasurable good. The environment was perfect for my efficient, all-round learning.
In fact, GISS, with all its ups and downs, has made me the real person that I have become today. I count
myself fortunate to have attended this outstanding institution that moulds lives.

Well, a very popular saying goes that whatever has a beginning will surely have an end. The friends,
students, janitors, teachers, in fact, everybody that I have met at Grundtvig, seemed to be very
indispensable. They are so dear that I have cause to weep when I remember that I have to leave. I hate to
think about leaving because even though staying is no gain, leaving is much pain. However, my
conclusion and happiness lie in the fact that with the lessons I have learnt from my peers, teachers,
juniors et cetera and my all-inclusive experience here at Grundtvig, I am poised to put in my very best in
all that I do.

Wherever I go, I will forever be a proud alumnus of GISS. However hard it is to say this, I still have to
say 'Goodbye' GISS.
