Dear Jacinta,
Today, October 20, 2025, I was able to make the final payment for your 2026 tuition, so as I understand it, you will be able to graduate next year. I read that you have been enjoying art and got to show some of your work in the school show. Congratulations! Yesterday I played a concert with four piano concertos performed by four pianists who were not full time professional concert pianists but people who loved playing, were good enough to be professional pianists but chose instead to find jobs in the business world to make money. They continued to be active musicians. I think sometimes doing any of the arts seems impractical. You love art but people are skeptical or even laugh if you want to become a professional. This is nonsense. Continue to love making art and it does not need to be a livelihood. But doing it because you love it is terribly important. It keeps us human.


Congratulations and best of luck with form four. I am proud of you!
Jacinta
