I hope you find a few spare minutes to read these notes, despite all the marking and work you must have as a teacher (and mother of 2 energetic boys).

Firstly, THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the effort, time, and patience it took to be such an amazing teacher this semester! ✮⋆˙

I'm so grateful to have been your student. I have to say, sometimes it's not easy finding the drive to wake up and get to class, especially on Mondays, but surely every time I joined class, your bright smile and enthusiastic greetings always boosted my mornings.

You were always so positive, and dedicated to help. It seemed like you genuinely had an interest in and care for each of our well-being, and I know that is rare to find. I hope you enjoyed your first semester at VLC as much as we did, (and despite the confusing tech issues,) I hope you choose to continue teaching here because more students need a cheerful teacher in their class! :D

I will surely miss the interesting and inspiring lessons (and also going off-topic and often discussing crazy things and your hilarious sons 😅). I wish you the best future, with lots more students to come who will enjoy your teaching as much as we did.

Thank you again for everything you have done!! :') ♡.

Thanks for being the best teacher one could have! From your happy attitude no matter what we threw at you (sorry :( ) , to giving us advice on life, you really excel at it all! I remember the times you would extend class just if I (or someone else) didn't understand something (even up til 4:00 sometimes lol!). And for me, who had you for both Green Industries and Math for the first semester of my FIRST year of high school, it's a really emotional moment to part from the teacher I practically saw everyday (green industries mon & wed, math tues & thurs lol)! You really helped me make my transition from elementary to high school easier! I really loved the way you taught green industry, from many different perspectives! I already liked the idea of being eco-friendly, (which is why I took GI), and was scared maybe I would get a teacher who might make me less enthusiastic abt it, but boy I was wrong. I couldn't have been more aware and care as much as the environment, without learning it from you!

Basically: YOU ARE THE BEST & Thank you sosososoo much! (I could write an essay as you could see so I summarized it lol)

Thx again... I really will miss you 🥺

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your exceptional guidance and dedication as our Green Industry teacher.

Your passion for environmental sustainability and your commitment to imparting knowledge have made a profound impact on my understanding of the green sector. Your innovative teaching methods and real-world insights have not only enhanced my academic experience but have also inspired me to consider a future in the green industry. Thank you for being a mentor and a source of inspiration.

I'm not the type to write in padlets, but I just wanted to say thank you for all you've done in the VLC this semester. Throughout my experience with Green Industries you have never hesitated to clarify any concepts that I failed to understand and always provided amazing feedback (sometimes more than I even expected!). Open offices with you were also amazing, and I really appreciate how you let me resubmit assignments that I made silly mistakes on...

I also love you're hands-on approach to teaching -- you really simplified many otherwise complicated concepts. The fact that you gave us videos as a visual option for those who need it was amazing!

Thank you so much for everything!
