Given to me by one of the students…
Cris,
I wanted to thank you personally for everything that you for us to make us feel good about ourselves. I really admire your teaching style, your attention to detail with your students, your great lectures, you compassion for each individual, and your creativity and enthusiasm for teaching. My parents gave everything for my well-being though I was emotionally abandoned by them and there were times when I feel that I am no good compared to others but you took the time to assure us that we could be superstars someday.
I’ve had many teachers in my career as a student, and I can honestly say that none has inspired me as you have. You really go the extra mile for us to talk about our feelings, fears and I don’t want you to think that your dedication goes unnoticed. You have made a lasting impression in my life though I know that some acted like I felt bored inside this class. Yes, sometimes I get bored, it’s just that your ** manuals are way too boring. Your office should change your manuals.
Also Cris, I would like to thank you for being such an amazing mentor. You are one of the best! Never forget that! You have the power to change lives and always remember that you changed the life of this girl and took her from not having any goals and dreams to never wanting to stop learning and be a successful person. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are such an inspiraiton. I feel so blessed to know you. Being a teacher is a such a powerful and noble jov and sometimes I think you guys lose sight of the fact that you do make a difference everyday in some way. Thank you for your time and dedication.
You are the Best Porn Star** Ever!

**One time in class, instead of ‘point-and-click’, I said ‘point-and-*bleep. 
Because of that, my students made a sash that read “Porn Star” and I gamely wore it for the entire day. hahahaha!
