Description :
“Despite my challenges, including the loss of sight, I feel tremendously blessed to be a blessing.”
Peter Tan Chong Tze’s remarkable journey in education spans 24 years as Principal of three distinguished schools: Anglo-Chinese School (Junior), Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road), and Queensway Secondary School. Not by Sight is a powerful memoir that chronicles his unwavering dedication to his calling, despite facing profound personal and professional challenges.
From his early years to his retirement at 63, Peter Tan shares the defining moments that shaped his life—his initial dream of becoming a missionary, the unexpected shift to education, and the devastating medical condition that threatened to take away his sight and his future as a teacher. Against all odds, he was given the chance to continue, embarking on a meaningful career filled with triumphs, struggles, and lessons in faith and resilience.
Beyond the classroom, his story delves into the complexities of family, the pain of an absent father, and the transformative power of grace, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Through his candid reflections, Not by Sight offers profound encouragement to students, parents, and educators alike, inspiring them to navigate life’s challenges with faith, courage, and an unwavering belief in God’s purpose.
