Letter of Withdrawal

The time has come to give the letter of withdrawal from Gracefields Kindergarten for Term 2. I thought I would feel nothing much about pulling Kyla out of school and enrolling her into another school overseas. But I was wrong. In fact, I was feeling quite sad about it. I cannot imagine how much tears will roll down my cheeks at the day of departure.

This morning, I went down personally to pass the letter to Kyla's form teacher, Mrs Cheong. We had a short conversation about Kyla's progress in school. Mrs Cheong feedback was that Kyla was the big sister in class, leading her classmates in song and dance. Her voice was the loudest (inherited from her hainanese mother genes) in class. Very participative child. Her absence was felt when we went Hongkong for holidays. When I hear all these, I felt even sadder. Although it was a short one term, I saw how much Kyla has bloomed in terms of sensibility, reading ability and learning how to care for her brother. She enjoys school very much and it is a real pity that she can't continue her kindy years with Gracefields.
