Thomas is truly one SMOOOOOOOTH character. He glides into class (sometimes late but he's not worried) and slides into his seat. Maybe a few fancy handshakes with the people around him. Leans back and takes in the lesson. Everything is ALL RIGHT!
Thomas is soft-spoken with an emphasis on the SOFT. He never really gets too animated. Not so loud. Just - you know - kind of laid back and cool. But not the kind of cool that is standoffish or "better than you". On the contrary, Thomas is quick with a smile, amiable, likeable... a good guy!
I've taught Thomas for four years now (if I remember correctly) and I'm yet to see him look any way but composed, relaxed, content. Does this guy experience any stress whatsoever? As I said: SMOOOOTH!
Thanks for being such a friendly and good-natured student, Thomas. I have always enjoyed teaching you. You have always been very appreciative and thoughtful towards me. I wish you all the best in the years ahead!
