Before my students leave, I always ask them to sign my visitors book. It is a way for me to evaluate the quality of my services and to remain in contact with them. For example, some of my students are now getting married and they have all invited me to witness what will be the greatest day in their lives. Others invite me in their country, such as China, Spain, Pakistan. It feels me with great pride and happiness. Here are some examples:

"My darling, I don't want to say goodbye, because I am sure that we will meet us soon. This summer I have learned English a lot with you but I have opened my mind too. We were talking about our lifes and there are a lot of things in common between each others. I can see that you have a lot of good friends, and this is because you are a good person, always prepared to help, to smile, to listen and to make people happy around you. I have felt like at home. My door will always be opened to you in Spain. Thank you Pat, lots of kisses." Nuria Cort, Barcelona, Spain, 28/08/2006

"Dear Pat, thank you very much for everything, I miss time with you. I will never forget you. I think that I will see you again. If you want to come to Beijin, I will invite you to my house. I have been really happy in your house. I wish you the best in the future." Young Tao, Beijin, China, 10/10/2002

"Hi Pat, This is the second time I write in your book, and hopefully not the last one....I really have had a great time here even better than last summer! Thanks for all the efforts that you make for your students. Keep in touch. I will miss you." Alvaro Cebrian Benito, Mardid, Spain, 26/08/2004

"Hi Pat, I am not a fool. I have spent 2 years here in which I have achieved my Masters with a 1st. A dream for any students to find peace and comfort in order to study hard. As I do not consider myself as a guest, I will not sign your visitors book. Guest never come back but me I will." (P.S: I did 1 year later but as a professional, and I have been there for another year and a half now!) Benoit Handsome Mercier, Nantes, France, 09/09/2003

"Dear missis Pat, Thank you very much for this month, in which I have enjoyed myself. I will miss all the people. I will miss all the people in your house and...your pool table. I am sure that next year I will come back." Thomas Vigano, Vaboldo, Italy, 30/06/2005

I hope that the next person to sign my book will be you...

Pat
