Ebony is as soft-spoken now (at least in my class) as she was in grade 8. And, much like five years ago, she is still extremely polite and thoughtful. Whenever I help her with her math she is always so appreciative.
I'm so proud of Ebony for lasting the whole year in Calculus 12. It was not an easy class (for anybody) and it showed a lot of character, determination, and integrity to keep coming to class day after day.
I will miss your shy smile and your kind words, Ebony. You never caused me a single problem in the three years I taught you (thank you!). May you experience great happiness and success (whatever it may look like to you) in the years ahead. All the best!
