Hey Ms. Ko! This is Steven Le, and for teachers appreciation week, I just wanted to express gratitude and recall what you taught me beyond academics, and to do so, I want to talk about a story that happened in my 9th grade. For some reason that I still don’t know of even today, I carried a really strong, foul scent to my classes. I wasn’t aware of the smell until break started, and so coming into your class (3rd period), I was full of emotions and was really embarrassed, resulting in myself crying in the middle of class. However, I remember you being really calm about the situation and not taking it too seriously, trying to talk to me and defuse the tensions. Nowadays, when I reflect on that day, I just remember it being a really huge learning experience about not overthinking things too much, and a huge part of that was having that situation unfold that day in your class. Basically, I just wanted to thank you for being the kind, amazing teacher you were for me, especially on that day where my emotions were really high, and I hope you know that your seemingly small actions truly had a large, positive impact on who I am today :)
