Farewell

The academic universe is a series of twists and turns. Things do not always turn out the way you expect. When you graduate, you feel happy and a little bit relieved. After all, all those tests, lectures, seminars, presentations made you feel under pressure. The funny thing is, when you are gone, you start to miss it. Even so, you manage to stay in touch with most of your friends and, occasionally, with some teachers. I never thought I would write this, but this is the plain truth.
Well, I believe some teachers never die. They, somehow, live with you in your memory. They are there when you arrive, they are there when you leave the room. Once in a while they teach you something...maybe not that often. You never really know them, not more than they know you. Still, for a while, you believe in them. And, if you are lucky, there is one who believes in you.

Goodbye Luíza. Hopefully I will be able to drop by some day to see how things are going on. :)
