Sekian dulu untuk sekarang, Pak Badar. Saya akan mengirim surat lagi lain kali, dan semoga Bapak bisa membalas surat saya kalau ada waktu. Semoga kita bisa bertemu saat saya kembali ke Indonesia nanti ya, Pak Badar.
Sekarang begitu saya jadi mahasiswa, saya harus belajar sendiri dan mengatur waktu dengan rajin. Awalnya itu sulit, dan saya sering kangen masa-masa di SMA. Saya jadi sadar kalau dulu, Anda sangat membantu kami dalam mengatur belajar. Terima kasih lagi untuk hal itu, Pak Badar.
Hormat saya,
Dion Nugroho
Dear Mrs. Hevi,
I’m writing this letter to tell you my deepest and biggest thanks for all these 3 years of my precious senior high school. Actually, you’re the one that make me think that my years in this school is really precious. I didn’t have many joy and interest when first started school, but because of you I can find the joy in this school.
I remember vividly the day when you reached your hand to teach me Economics, and told me to go into competition. I didn’t have much confidence in myself, actually. But thanks to your support, I can got into that competition and became the first place in the city.
I also remember how you’re always on our side, your not-too-good students. When the other teachers avoided us and said that we’re handful, you’re still there for us. You said that you’re understand us, and that words really comforted us.
