Steve,
Thank you so much for coming to the class and speaking to us! I really enjoyed hearing your story and all you had to say. When I asked you "what is your favorite thing about being a teacher", I really loved your response, I hope that when I am a teacher I will build those strong, wonderful relationships like you have with your students. I know that the reason I want to become a teacher is to give my students a positive learning environment and to make a difference in their lives just as you do! I hope that I will become as good as a teacher as you! Thank you again!!!

Mr. Massengill,
It was such a pleasure to get to meet you and learn about your experiences this week. Learning about how you became a substitute and learned to be a bright spot in those middle schoolers' days got me so excited for the day I will have my own classroom. Keep them laughing and keep sharing the joy (and keep coming back to Dr. Coleman's class)! "Love them doggies!!"
Sincerely,
Lauren Lilly

I appreciate you coming and sharing your experience and advice with our class. I love secondary education, so it was great to hear from someone in the field who has a passion for those kiddos as much as I do! Based on our hour-long conversation, I can assume that you are a joyful individual who leaves a positive impact wherever you go, so thank you for taking the time to leave that impact on me. I wish you nothing but the best with your career and happiness!

Hey Mr. Massengill!
Thank you for spending your time with our class Wednesday afternoon! Your love for teaching and building relationships with students is something every teacher should seek to share similarly. Your words you shared about making a connection struck me in such an intimate way. I can only echo the value you put on the importance of that trust between teachers and students. I greatly appreciated your time and wish you well!
Best,
Natalie Campbell

Steve,
It was such a joy to listen to you speak and share your experiences as a substitute teacher! I hope your students know how lucky they are to share just one part of their educational experience with you.  Your passion for your students is so evident and inspiring to me and other soon to be teachers!  The world needs more teachers like you who provide a safe environment for students to learn and aim high for the future.  Never stop pursuing the amazing work you are doing! I cannot thank you enough for taking the time out of your day to speak to our class and provide encouragement for our future careers.  I am positive we will all remember the conversations we shared and the joy you exhibit.
Blessings,
Megan Kirk
