Lifelong Truckie turns School of Life Teacher

So Ken, where I'd love to start with you today is by reminding you and reading you the beautiful tribute card that Luca from year 10 wrote you after a few months of weekly visits.

Okay.

So he said, visiting you has been more than I ever could have expected.

I came to step quite nervous, not knowing what our time together would look like, but what has come from it has been more than I ever could have imagined.

That means more to me than I can put into words.

Hearing about your life as a trucker has been the favourite part of my visits.

The funny stories, the card tricks had us both laughing until we couldn't stop.

And from every single one of them, I envy you even more.

You have a wisdom about you that is truly inspiring.

And I think it's a really rare thing.

I'll genuinely miss our time together.

You've given me so much more than you probably realise.

Thank you for everything, Ken.

It's been a privilege.

From Luca.

So, Ken, I'm just going to pop that one just in front of you.

The reason I wanted to start with that is That was last term, so you've been buddied up with some other students since Luca and you've been buddied up with other students previously to that.

How did it make you feel? It

made me feel real good.

Yeah.

Yeah, it did.

Yeah.

He was a nice young man to talk to and he had a lot to say about different things, what he wants to do and what he doesn't want to do.

I advised him not to tell us the truck driver.

Yeah, I'd love to explore a little bit more of some of those days with you.
