I’ve reached the stage in my career where former students and their parents are reaching out to ask for letters of recommendation. I just wrote one this morning, and I couldn’t be happier to do it. It brings me true joy to see these young people growing up, doing the right thing, and bettering themselves in every way possible. I’m proud to have played even a small part in their lives.
I’d like to believe I made enough of an impact that they look back years later and remember me. It is an honor that they trust me to write on their behalf. Teaching these days might not carry the prestige it once did, but moments like these make me grateful for the opportunity to educate the next generation. I love being able to help them, whenever possible, and wish them nothing but success.
