Franchesca Baluyot appreciates Mr. Alec Glassford, a teacher at INDEPENDENCE HIGH SCHOOL in San Jose, CA

Happy Teachers Appreciation Week! I hope you’ve been well. How have your classes been virtually? With graduation coming around the corner, I just wanted to share my appreciation for you and why not during the week for teachers! Thank you for always checking up on me during and after sophomore year. My period, sixth, was honestly questionable but (in the nicest way possible) since I was friends with those who didn’t really care to do their work as much, you saw my potential of thriving in your class. I’ve never visibly seen that in any other teacher I’ve had, which motivated me to do my best. In fact, a little too motivated because I took AP Chemistry, and that’s not something we talk about. I promise I’m not that stupid, I just got too busy to do my work and study. Moving on... Even though I had Mrs. Hafalia to ask questions to, you still took some time out of your day to help me. I bet you two were teaming up on me. Your kind gestures have made a huge impact on me, so thank you again! Hope to see you soon! Oh yeah, I have yet to go to Alaska!
