I want to let all my 爱豆传媒friends, colleagues, and acquaintances, know how much I appreciate the well wishes and support I received on my recent retirement from 爱豆传媒College.
Although my retirement is now official, I struggle with mixed emotions. As anticipated, I miss many of you already. What I do not miss is the commute to and from work or the early mornings. What I do miss is the camaraderie I shared with you with the common pursuit of instructing and enlightening students.
Some of you I may never see again. Others, I hope I do when we are able to gather once again. For now, I am simply going to try and enjoy life in the current circumstances.
Your generous gifts of a MasterClass membership and a Steve's Music gift certificate will add to the enjoyment of my retirement.
Again, thank you.
