Muchas Gracias

Quiero escribir algo sencillo, sin drama. Ha sido un placer haber trabajado con ustedes estos años, apreciados estudiantes. No hay mejor manera de aprender que enseñar con el corazón y con resposabilidad.

Dejo de dar clases en URBE, pero no voluntariamente. Hay gente que tiene intereses y no principios, y esa gente está anidada, aferrada al poder y le hace daño a nuestra institución.

Esta ha sido una lección para mi. Una lección pagada con mi empleo.

Puedo decir muchas cosas, pero por los momentos diré: C'est la vie.

La vida nos sonríe siempre. Debemos regresar la sonrisa.

Espero que les haya servido de algo lo que he hecho para ustedes. Estoy a su servicio.

Namaste.

Teacher Juan Alcántara
