Thank you! by Nina Keough

Hello Mr.Juan David! Just the other day we spoke about how sometimes you wonder the impact your work has on your students. After we spoke I thought about all our conversations and I just wanted to let you know that you have impacted me. You helped me through a difficult decision when I realized I wanted to change my major and you constantly support me with each endeavor I embark in. I really appreciate all the support you have given me. Thank you, Kate Martinez

THANK YOU MRS. REPP! You are the most supportive counselor for all the tough and exciting processes that students go through. Every word of encouragement you give me and all the students is greatly appreciated because I can't imagine going through the college application process alone.

Nurse Weaver. I don't even know where i would start with you. You are one of the most kind and caring people I have ever met. People get scared of u and I'm like how are you scared of this ray of sunshine. Not only have you helped everyone in the school, but you also during this pandemic helped the collaborative several times. By going out of you way and collecting food and diapers for us. I am so grateful to have someone like you as a support. ❤️ thank you for everything you do!

During the pandemic, a little appertion and love goes a long way. Ms. Balaram is a very kind and very nice teacher to be with. Since day one she always had a fun energy in the zoom calls. Seeing Mrs.Baralams face every morning brings me joy and is always a good start to my day. Overall, she is very kind towards all of us and even though most of the advisory have their cameras off she still brings the same energy. 😊If I could have her again as my adviser I would!

stsamuel2 — 2021-01-04 13:16:14 UTC

! A few things about Ms.Bell is that she that she's always energetic and makes sure she gets you happy before you go to class. She's also always smiling even if we don't put our camera's on she still continues to speak and keep her positive energy. And I love how she puts in so much effort in to making activities fun.

i've only known Mr. James since last year and he really introduced me into the community once I transferred to Excel. He's a very genuine person and gives a lot of life lessons, which are funny but should be taken seriously. His sense of humor is immaculate and he's just a good person to be around. Don't get me wrong he knows how to keep his class on track and he knows when it's time to laugh, and when it's time to be focused. Since I transferred, he has made my journey in this school absorbing and prime. I can say overall he is a great teacher and he has helped me become my best self

"Mr. Lewis is someone who manages to find motivation when it is very dimly lit and difficult to locate. Not only does he have that motivation but he is able to put it in words and actions that are snappy and appreciated greatly for how direct they are. When you talk to him, it doesn't feel like you're wasting time as he's rather direct and manages to say what he wants to say; A trait I wish many more would also have, perhaps including myself. That being said, I hope your Christmas is very merry and you come back from break re-energized!"Sincerely,Samy A. Legzouli

You helped me ease my stress because I knew that my essay needed more, but I wasn’t able to do it on my own :) Since the essay is something that colleges spend most of their time looking at, I was able to get into BU. I hope you have a happy holiday :)
