You were the first English teacher who was able to let me see the beauty of the English language. Each time I write, there is this little voice telling me to think about my angle, to incorporate balance, and to be concise. You opened my eyes with your teaching style.
I have immense gratitude for you. Thanks, thanks, and thanks. You gave me much more than just notions of academic English: you made me fall in love with life - you inspired me to believe in myself.
The readings you give motivate me to keep practicing my writing. I just love their simplicity. It's the kind of reading that moves one's heart and stimulates one's mind. Your class has been a gift. You can't imagine how you've helped me.
Besides learning so much from you about American culture and literature, I got a bonus: a friend for life.
I was praised for my writing style at Columbia University more than once. And I know whom I should thank - you. You are a great teacher! What makes my life easier is my writing: thanks to you I know how to impress and stun.
After class, I facetimed my mom for an hour. She wondered why I was so energetic late in the evening. Yes, you charged me to full power. Whenever I talk with you, all my energy appears. You’ve taught us how to write, how to think and how to love.
It was the best choice I made this year to take your course. You motivated me to think deeply and view the world in diverse perspectives. Thank you for your thought-provoking lessons. Thanks to you, I could meet many great writers. Thanks to you, I learned how to question myself. You are an inspiration.
You showed me the way to wonder, to question and to think - and to to consider and welcome challenging ideas. You cleaned my ears, for better listening and polished my hands, for better writing.
