It is true that we meet people in our life for a good and
divine reason. I honestly believe that Mr. Nick is one person whom GOD has
given me to witness and experience HIS love and grace.
I can imagine that if JESUS were my Head of School, I would surely
feel comfortable, good, understood, affirmed, recognized, appreciated and
supported by HIM. These are some of the many good things I have experienced
working with Mr. Nick.
Everytime I would come to his office, he would always welcome
me and listen to my issues and concerns with all sincerity and understanding.
He would make me realize that there are other ways on how to view things no
matter how trivial or intricate they may be. He would give me his thoughts on
certain situations with a heart of wisdom, feeling that I am understood and not judged by
him.
Mr. Nick, you have been a great and generous supporter of the
Student Council. Your magnanimity is incomparable, as you even go beyond sharing your personal resources to realize
the activities of our student leaders. You just don’t have any idea how the
students felt happy, relieved and supported because of your unselfishness to
share your blessings to us.
When I needed help to convey my appeal for professional
development, you were there to enlighten people for them to grant my request as
you believe that I need to update and improve my knowledge and skills to better
serve our students and parents as well. Not only that, you even wrote and
personally handed to me my request letter so that I may be able to get refund
for my plane fare which I was not able to use for an inevitable reason. I felt your pure and
genuine concern to help me which I will never ever forget.
Most of all, I will forever treasure in my heart the moment you
allowed me to be with the children of Mary Jane Veloso. This “holy experience”
will not happen without your full support and approval which made me realize
that ‘miracle is for real’. Because of this, I was able to witness GOD’s mercy
and compassion through my interaction with people from religious and
cause-oriented groups. It was an edifying experience for me which happened
because of you.
Despite your position and stature in the academe, you never
let it stop you from entertaining us during the teachers’ karaoke by singing in
your hilarious and out of this world version of the song, “Hard Day’s Night” by
the legendary group the Beatles. No one can surely imitate and impersonate the
way you did it because it will be a crime for anyone to do it as it was your
most original and epic performance ever.
Mr. Nick, saying ‘thank
you’ is not enough for me to express my deepest and unfathomable gratitude for
everything that you have shared to me. You are truly a “Man of God” and I thank
GOD our loving Father for giving me the
opportunity to work with you.
As you always tell me, “See you later Mr. Ed.,” in your
Aussie accent which I am trying very hard to imitate. Again, thank you Mr. Nick
for being a “Man of GOD”.” Undoubtedly, GOD is and will always be happy and
proud of what you have become.
May you continue to be a blessing to people around you!
