Tribute

Here's a tribute to my high school headmaster , Reverend Bro Paul Ho who played many roles to many a student in St Xavier's Institution. Teacher, Mentor, Fellow Football Fanatic, Disciplinary Badass and Master Baker(always gets the laughs when said during assemblys lol). He retired on the 19th of June and had a grand ceremony and a dinner to boot. I would've gone too if i wasn't stuck a gabazillion miles away in Ausland. Pfffft.

I've always thought of Bro Paul to be a man of the students . A very good example of this trait in the man would be his baking classes. Every school has a few classes where the students just aren't kicking it in the academic department and most schools are in mind to just leave them as they are. Good ol Bro Paul would have none of that and made baking classes that are integrated in the school curricular activities for these particular classes. Its good to see that the man honestly tries his utmost best to equip all his students under his care as best as he can for their lives ahead of them.

From a student's perspective, Bro Paul Ho was always the jovial fella where anyone could just crack a joke at him when he's walking up and down patrolling the halls of the school and he would respond in kind with jokes of his own. He was never one of those scary ass headmaster who seemed to walk with a shroud and a scythe which kinda made him a sorta hero to most of the students.

Anyways.. . . the post was a tribute to the last of the Brothers, Bro Paul Ho. Have a happy retirement !
