Bruce Nguyen appreciates Mr. William Stegeman, a teacher at INDEPENDENCE HIGH SCHOOL in San Jose, CA

Hello Mr. Stegeman,

Thank you for your help with my high school journey. From the first time we shook hands in 'Intro to Finance' to the conversations we’ve had in distance learning, you’ve always given me useful tips that strongly apply to life as well as opportunities that made me a stronger person overall. You helped make me more confident as an individual when I joined the Finance Club. I was able to help plan out amazing events with many inspiring people. My two years as a club officer is something I’ll treasure for the rest of my life as it directly applies to what I’ll do with my own money and resources. I applaud your constant awareness of situations, and you’ve made me feel less stressed when I had many things to do. Although I always try my best, I definitely liked your thoughtful guidance and pressure during class. You were there as I put myself at odds with many of the district leaders, and because of the knowledge you’ve given about interviews, tone, and body language, I’ve learned from you how to become more resilient and professional in all situations. I was able to put many of these things to the test with the internship you introduced to me. Again, you are an amazing teacher and a fantastic mentor!
