My dear friends,

Good evening,

? This is the last call from 2017.

? For most friends I know, I believe this year is exactly a landmark for our lives. Because many of us have already graduated from universities and started a new life. Also, some changed your jobs for bright future and some still keep their current positions. No matter what choice is, I do believe we are fighting for our goals.

? Personally speaking, choosing to be a volunteer teacher in Thailand seems good to other people, but I have to say sometimes it just looks good. So you must understand why I say so. And that is the reason I make new aims for the forthcoming 2018.

? During the past 2017, we, although being separate in daily life, stayed together in spirit. My dear friends, it's you are with me that supported me to hold on when I met challenge and was treated unfairly. So please allow to show my gratitude to all of you, Thank you so much from bottom of heart.

? Also, the experience in Thailand gave me a chance to think a lot about our life. And I believe, whatever you experienced, you must have your own thoughts. Generally we did good job, therefore, at the very ending of 2017, let's get together and make new year resolutions.

? Finally, I want to make a toast, to us, to the past 2017, to the new 2018, and to future. My dear fellows, I wish all of us a happy new year.

Francis
