In the past I have chosen a student of the month to honor and celebrate. This semester I decided to celebrate accomplishments of every student from last semester and affirm qualities I appreciate about each of them.
Z.B. worked hard this year and made an A on her math final. She and her mom established a regular time for meeting each day and accessing her progress. I most love your smile.
C.S. improved her study habits and began investing more time in her work each night. She also stuck to an intense final exam study schedule. I love your willingness.
M.W. adjusted to a new home school school and learned to enjoy herself while making all A’s. I love your energy.
M.H. completed her first semester of college with an A/B average and completed more papers than any student I have ever worked with. I love your perseverance.
K.F. took a more serious approach to his work, and most importantly, he finally asked for help with work in between sessions. I love how mannerly and considerate you are.
O.M. went after her dream which meant she had to complete school work for five hours every night after her “job.” I love your passion.
C.C. worked hard to improve her test taking skills. I love how well you communicate about your school work and how quickly you bounce back from setbacks.
